Al Raed vs Al Nassr Prediction
The home team come into this one on the back of a 2-1 defeat to fellow strugglers Al Kholood in their most recent outing the other day. Al Raed have now suffered six Saudi Pro League defeats as they hover just above the bottom three and the danger zone on goal difference. They now face an Al Nassr side that have dropped too many points this season but the visitors’ 3-1 defeat of Al Fateh at the weekend means they have now collected ten points from their last four matches so an Al Nassr victory is to be expected for this one with a potentially comfortable victory.
