Al-Nassr FC vs Al-Shabab FC Prediction: Nassr cannot afford another defeat

Al-Nassr will aim for a victory as they prepare to take on Al-Shabab at the Al-Awwal Park. Nassr lost to Al-Orobah in their last league game, while Shabab’s unbeaten in their last three league games. The last time they met, Nassr won the game with a 1-2 victory. Cristiano Ronaldo scored in that game. Al-Nassr is now 4th in the league with a 10-point gap between them and the league leaders Al-Ittihad. On the other hand, Shabab is unbeaten in their last 3 league games. My prediction for this game is a victory for Nassr. Let’s analyze both teams’ forms, their key stats, and my expert opinion. 

Al-Nassr FC (4th)

Form in the League: LWLWW

Al-Nassr lost yet again to Al-Orobah in their last league game. The game ended in a 2-1 defeat. Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr are also 10 points apart from the league leaders but it’s still a race worth running for Nassr and it all continues with their performance on Friday against Al-Shabab. 

Their AFC Champions League journey is also taking shape as they were held down to a goalless draw against Estenghlal in the first leg of the knockout round. They are currently in 4th place in the league table with 15 wins, four draws, and 4 losses from 23 games. 

Al-Shabab FC (6th)

Form in the League: WWDLW

Shabab have now gone three games without a defeat with two consecutive league wins in their last two league games. Al-Shabab thrashed Damac FC in their last league game with a 2-0 scoreline. Shabab continues to fight for a top 4 place in the league this season and it continues in their clash against the phenomenal Al-Nassr on Friday. 

Shabab is currently 6th placed in the league with 12 wins, 3 draws, and 8 losses from the 23 league games they’ve played this season. Abderrazak Jamdallah is the team's current top scorer with 13 goals to the good.

Expert Betting Tips

Al-Nassr is in dire need of a victory, especially after their loss to Al-Orubah in their last league game. Shabab, on the other hand, is unbeaten in their last 3 league games with two wins and a draw, but Friday's game is the real test of strength for Shabab as they go up against Al-Nass,r who they haven’t won a game against in their last 8 meetings.
