Al-Nasr
DWWDDW 📈
Al-Nasr will want to continue from where they left off last time out with the 2-3 UAE Pro League victory over Ittihad Kalba.
For Al-Nasr, the goals were scored by Samir Memišević (3'), Mattheus Oliveira (13') and Haris Seferović (45'). Daniel Bessa (48') scored for Ittihad Kalba.
Al-Nasr have not been the best at stopping their opponents recently, but they have also managed to hit the back of the net themselves. Over their last 6 matches, Al-Nasr have been punished defensively in 5 of them as well as getting on the scoresheet in 6 of those matches.
Al-Ain
DWWDWD 📈
In the game prior to this, Al-Ain drew 0-0 in the UAE Pro League match with Ajman.
A succession of outstanding showings from the Al-Ain defence has resulted in their ‘goals against’ tally standing at 1 from their last 6 fixtures combined. In that time, their own forwards have managed to score 10. That being said, we’ll just have to find out whether such a trend will persist in this upcoming match or not.
🤜🤛
Head to head
Looking at the statistics for their head to head duels going back to 17/05/2022, both clubs have shared the honours with Al-Nasr winning 3 of those games, Al-Ain 3 and 0 being drawn in normal time.

ℹ️
Team News: Al-Nasr
There aren’t many personnel worries, with just one fitness concern for the Al-Nasr boss Alfred Schreuder to contend with thanks to an otherwise robust group. 6 (Al-Nasr) will miss out.
📋
Team News: Al-Ain
From a largely full-strength squad, there’s just the lone fitness problem for the Al-Ain gaffer Vladimir Ivić to contend with. 5 (Al-Ain) won’t be playing here.
💡
Prediction
In our opinion, Al-Nasr should be able to breach the defence of this Al-Ain team, although one goal is unlikely to be enough to prevent defeat.
We are therefore anticipating a very close game with a 1-2 winning margin for Al-Ain when the full-time whistle blows. We’ll have to see what happens.
