Al Ahli vs Al Nasr Prediction
🔊 Can Al-Nassr extend their winning streak in the Saudi Pro League to five matches? The odds are certainly in their favor. However, Al-Ahli doesn't seem like an underdog in the upcoming clash, which will take place in Jeddah at the King Abdullah Sports City Stadium. If the hosts win, they will level on points with Al-Nassr. Therefore, we will consider different options to make the prediction optimal.
Head-to-Head
In the span of 30 head-to-head matches, Al-Nassr holds a slight advantage with 37% victories. However, in the first round of the current tournament, they had to settle for only a draw (1:1). Moreover, Al-Nassr was trailing and managed to equalize only in the ninth minute of added time thanks to an own goal. It is noteworthy that in 7 out of the last 8 head-to-head matches held in Jeddah, Al-Ahli conceded after the break. Therefore, it is worth considering a goal by Al-Nassr in the 2nd half, especially since they have scored during this segment in 15 of their last 16 games in the Premier League.
H2H Stats Matches and Previous Teams Results
AL Ahli Saudi Team Overview
Al-Ahli is in excellent form, having won 9 out of their last 10 Premier League matches. During this stretch, they only lost to Al-Kholood, conceding the only goal in the second minute of stoppage time. This was largely due to the sending off of Merih Demiral early in the second half. The team continued to win, and in the last three matches, they even kept clean sheets. For instance, in the last round, they defeated Al-Fateh (2:0) thanks to two penalty goals by Ivan Toney. Notably, both opponents were down to ten men by halftime. In Al-Ahli's lineup, Saad Balobaid received two yellow cards before the break and is suspended for the upcoming match. Alexsander will also miss the game due to injury. In January, Al-Ahli strengthened their defense by signing 20-year-old Matteo Dams from PSV and added another strong player to their attack - Galeno (Porto).

AL Nassr FC Team Overview
Al-Nassr had conceded in six consecutive Premier League matches, but finally managed to keep a clean sheet in the last round. Al-Fayha looked too timid, conceding three unanswered goals. John Duran, who joined Al-Nassr from Aston Villa in January, marked his debut with a goal. It took him another 50 minutes to score a brace. Cristiano Ronaldo completed the rout, solidifying his lead in the top scorer race. It's worth noting that the Colombian's transfer was the club's only move in the winter transfer window. Meanwhile, they parted ways with Seko Fofana and Anderson Talisca. In the upcoming match, Ali Al-Hassan and Sami Al-Najei will not play due to injuries. The latter's injury is so serious that Al-Nassr has removed him from the tournament squad. Additionally, Otavio missed the last round, and his absence is significantly more painful for the team.

⚽️ Prediction on Goals
Al-Nassr has both scored and conceded in 6 of their last 7 matches in the Premier League. The exception was the previous round, where they managed a clean sheet against Al-Fayha. Both teams have a decent set of attacking players. Therefore, we suggest the bet - both teams to score (Yes). Moreover, this bet has won in 7 of the last 8 head-to-head matches.
🚩 Prediction on Corners
This season, Al-Nassr has an advantage in corners - 6.8 against 5.7. On average, there are 10.3 corner kicks in matches involving them. The head-to-head match in the first round was no exception, with the opponents taking 11 corner kicks. Therefore, we suggest a bet on total corners over 8.5, especially since it has won in six consecutive head-to-head matches on the home field.
Editorial Prediction
In the upcoming match, there is no clear favorite. Both teams have winning streaks they would not want to break. However, both streaks could end in the case of a draw, which is quite likely considering that in 30% of head-to-head meetings, no winner was determined. Therefore, we suggest a potential exact score of 2:2.
Both teams are strong in attack, scoring an average of almost two goals per game. In January, they both strengthened their squads by signing an attacking player each. In such a situation, a high-scoring game is expected. As a key bet, we suggest - both teams to score (Yes). Moreover, this bet has won in 7 out of the last 8 head-to-head matches in the Saudi Arabian Premier League.
