  • Venue: King Abdullah Stadium (Buraidah)

Al Nassr had ambitions to fight for the trophy in the Saudi Arabian Premier League, but after 16 rounds, they are a big ten points behind Al Hilal. Al Nassr had some weaker stretches this season, but in the last two games, they won both games with a 9:3 goal difference. In the previous match, Al Nassr won 5-2 on the road in the cup against Al Shabab. Guests had some problems in that game, but eventually, their attacking power was too much for the home side to handle. 

Al Ettifaq are a mid-table team this season. They are ten points away from the AFC Champions League spots but also ten points above the relegation zone. Al Ettifaq are without a win in the last seven matches. In the previous game, they lost 2-0 at home against Al Taawon. Guests had xG of 2.8, while the home side had 1.45, so it is no wonder Al Ettifaq suffered another defeat. 

Al Nassr vs Al Ettifaq pick: Al Nassr to win and cover AH -1.5 spread

Al Nassr are playing well at the home stadium this season. They have a 6-1-1 record and a 21:9 goal at King Abdullah Stadium. On the other hand, Al Ettifaq have big problems with the attack as they scored only one goal in the last seven matches. Al Nassr to win and cover AH -1.5 should be the best bet for this tie.

Al Nassr team news

Al Nassr's left-back Alex Telles suffered an injury in the game against Al Hilal about twenty days ago, so he missed the next three games.

Still, Alex Telles recovered and participated in a few training sessions, so we could expect him to return to the starting lineup in the game versus Al Ettifaq.

Al Ettifaq

Al Ettifaq team news

Al Ettifaq have some very good players, but they are playing badly, especially in the attack. That's why Steven Gerrard said a few days ago that the team needs to improve significantly in that area in the upcoming transfer window.

One of the players who came out as a solution is Robert Firmino.

Even if that happens, nothing changes for Al Ettifaq for the game versus Al Nassr, where they should have the same problems as always.
