Al-Nassr

WWDLLL 📉

Al-Nassr won’t want a repeat of their last result here following a 3-1 Professional League defeat in their last game at the hands of Al-Hilal.

In that game, Al-Nassr had 48% possession and 9 attempts on goal with 1 on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Al-Nassr was Ronaldo (42'). For their opponents, Al-Hilal Saudi had 8 attempts on goal with 3 of them on target. Salem Al Dawsari (57'), Mohamed Kanno (81') and Neves (90') scored for Al-Hilal.

It’s not been often in recent games that Al-Nassr have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. In fact, Al-Nassr have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 matches, shipping 11 goals during that time.

Al-Shabab

Al-Shabab will go into the game after a 3-2 Professional League win against Neom in their last fixture.

In that game, Al-Shabab had 42% possession and 19 attempts on goal with 9 on target. The only player to score for Al-Shabab was Yannick Carrasco (58', 61'). At the other end, NEOM got 11 shots on goal with 4 of them on target. Saïmon Bouabré (6') was the scorer for Neom.

The numbers tell their own story, and Al-Shabab have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 games, letting opponents get 12 goals in total. At the back, Al-Shabab just haven’t been too solid at all. That sort of trend won’t necessarily be carried forward into this next game, however.

✨ Prediction

It looks to us that Al-Nassr will probably dominate on the ball and be rewarded with decent chances.

At the same time, Al-Shabab will not find it easy getting on the scoresheet - but, we do see them hitting back at some stage here, too.
