US Monastir vs Al Nasr Prediction: With their full squad available for selection; Al Nasr are expected to score more than once

US Monastir will lock horns with Al Nassr at the King Fahd Sports City Stadium on Monday. Al Nassr will go into this encounter to secure their first three points, while US Monastir will strive to upset them.

The Northern African team began their journey in this competition with a defeat against Zamalek SC. After a poor season in the Tunisian League which saw them finish fourth on the log, US Monastir were humiliated against a familiar Egyptian team a few days ago. Without a red card, they allowed Zamalek to put four goals past them.

US Monastir's best result in this competition was a quarterfinal finish in 2009. They have lost once over their previous five games, scoring eight times while conceding eight goals.

US Monastir have an entirely new team after releasing some of their experienced players, and we don’t think they’ll make it out of this group.

The Knights of Najd finished second in the Saudi Professional League. They began their journey here with a share of the spoils against Al Shabab. Al Nassr were lucky to have secured a point after starting most of their fringe players due to their recent friendly encounter against Inter Milan. Cristiano Ronaldo, Talisca, Alex Tellex and Seko Fofan came in the second half but couldn’t change the scoreboard. Al Nassr have lost twice, drawn three and won twice over their previous seven matches. They have played top sides like Inter Milan, PSG without a defeat.

After their poor opening game, Al Nassr will strive to pick up their first three points in this campaign.

US Monastir were humiliated against Zamalek after their poor defensive performance in their opening game. They were the only side who let in four goals in this first round of the tournament. On the contrary, Al Nassr shared the spoils with Al Shaba after resting most of their players who had a ten-hour flight from the friendly game against Inter Milan. Al Nassr will have their full squad available for this encounter, and we expect them to win and score more than once for 1.80.

We expect this encounter to produce more than two goals for 1.98.

With Ronaldo Upfront, Al Nassr might even obtain a halftime victory here for 1.90.

Good luck!
