Al-Nassr
WWLLWD
Al-Nassr go into this game following on from a 1-1 Professional League draw versus Al-Taawoun.
In that game, Al-Nassr managed 63% possession and 21 attempts at goal with 7 on target. The only player to score for Al-Nassr was Otávio (51'). Al-Taawoun got 7 shots on goal with 4 of them on target. Roger Martínez (70') scored for Al-Taawoun.
Al-Nassr haven’t been able to stop scoring goals, netting in one hundred percent of their last 6 games.
They’ve claimed a sum of 21 during that period while seeing the number of goals scored against them stand at 10. In any event, we’ll just have to find out whether the trend will be sustained in this next game.
Al-Khaleej
LLDLLW
Al-Khaleej go into this match following a 1-2 Professional League win with the defeat of Al-Orobah in their most recent game.
In that match, Al-Khaleej managed 60% possession and 14 attempts on goal with 5 on target. The only player to score for Al-Khaleej was Kostas Fortounis (31', 75'). Al-Orobah got 14 shots on goal with 3 on target. Ismaël Kandouss (2') was the scorer for Al-Orobah.
Al-Khaleej have been effective going forward in their most recent fixtures, having scored 6 goals in their previous 6 matches. While their manager will no doubt take that as a positive sign, Al-Khaleej have been somewhat leaky at the back, having also been scored against in 6 of those same games.
👥
Head to head

On the other side, Al-Nassr had 20 attempts on goal with 4 of them on target. Cristiano Ronaldo (65', 98') and Sultan Al Ghannam (81') scored.
🗞️
Team News: Al-Nassr
There’s just a single fitness concern for the Al-Nassr gaffer Stefano Pioli to contend with from an otherwise fully-primed group. Sami Al-Najei (Cruciate ligament tear) is out of contention.

Team News: Al-Khaleej
Thanks to a mainly available group of players, there is just the one fitness problem for the Al-Khaleej boss to contend with. Ibrahim Sehic (Shoulder injury) won’t be in action.
🧠
Prediction
We’re inclined to think that Al-Nassr can and should be able to create a decent number of chances and shots on target.
However, Al-Khaleej will not find it easy to make a breakthrough but we can see them managing to get on the scoresheet.
We’re tipping a fairly comfortable 3-1 win for Al-Nassr when all’s said and done.
