AL RIYADH VS AL NASSR PREDICTION
Al Riyadh have started the 2024/25 Saudi Pro League season with four victories, two draws and three defeats. They have been entertaining to watch in their nine matches so far this season with those nine games consisting of 27 goals. They now face an Al Nassr side that earned themselves a point against defending champions and league leaders Al Hilal last weekend as they shared a 1-1 draw but the visitors have been frustrated by four draws in their opening nine matches. Despite that many draws, they remain the firm favourites for this one in the capital.
