Al Ain vs Al Nassr prediction
Al Ain come into this one on the back of an entertaining 2-2 draw with Al Wasl in their most recent outing. Vladimir Ivic, formerly of Watford, is in charge of an Al Ain side that have won four and drawn one of their five matches in the UAE Pro League.
Al Nassr won the Saudi Pro League last season, captained by Cristiano Ronaldo with Ange Postecoglou since replacing Jorge Jesus in the dugout. Al Nassr have been frustrating and fairly average since a strong start to the season.
That form for Al Nassr continued the other day as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Al Khaleej and perhaps siding with Al Ain is the way to go for this one.
Al Ain vs Al Nassr tip: Double chance – Al Ain to win or draw
