Al Orubah vs Al Nassr Prediction
Al Orubah come into this one having began to move away from the bottom three and the relegation places with three victories in their last four matches in the Saudi Pro League. They most recently defeated Damak by two goals to one with former The New Saints striker Brad Young coming off the bench to score once again. They now face an Al Nassr side that enjoyed a hard-fought 2-0 win over bottom-of-the-table Al Wehda the other day thanks to goals from Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mane. Al Nassr are firm favourites for this one but Al Orubah, especially with their home advantage, will believe they can frustrate their opponents for large parts.
Al Orubah vs Al Nassr Tip: Al Nassr to win & under 3.5 goals
