Al Ittihad vs Al Nassr prediction

Defending champions Al Ittihad come into this one on the back of a 1-0 defeat of second-tier Al Wehda in the Saudi King’s Cup of Champions round of 32 the other day. They have started their campaign with four victories and a defeat across all competitions so far this season, losing their AFC Champions League opener.

They now face an Al Nassr side that, under the management of Jorge Jesus and captained by Cristiano Ronaldo, most recently dispatched of lower league side Jeddah by four goals to nil in the King’s Cup of Champions the other day. They have been brilliant in the Pro League, too, with three successive wins, consisting of 12 scored.

Al Nassr have scored 12 in their three league games thus far, whilst Al Ittihad have notched ten themselves, and so both teams scoring would appear a good bet for this top-of-the-table and potentially defining contest.
