Al-Nassr vs Al-Taawoun: Prediction and odds on the Match on 16 May 2025
Prediction for the Saudi Pro League match will occur on May 16th between Al-Nassr and Al-Taawoun. Al-Nassr found their way back to the third position in the Saudi League after that record victory against Al-Akhdoud in their last league game. Now, they must uphold this momentum and ensure they secure victories in the remaining three games they have left to play in the Saudi Pro League. Al-Taawoun suffered a defeat last week, making it two consecutive league defeats in a row for them, but there is nothing to be worried about for Taawoun as they are far away from the relegation zone. We think Al-Nassr will win this game, it's a win-or-nothing game for Al-Nassr. Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.
Al-Nassr: form and statistics
Form in the League: WLWLW
Al-Nassr secured a record 9-0 win against Al-Akhdoud last week. Al-Nassr dominated that game from the first minute to the last minute, and the goals were only a testament to Al-Nassr’s total dominance against Akhdoud last week. Sadio Mane got 4 goals in that game, and he is now the second-highest scorer for Al-Nassr in the Saudi Pro League with 13 goals to his name. Al-Nassr needed a win in that game as their qualification to the AFC Champions League next season is hinged on it, and they must ensure they see it through to the end.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner, Cristiano Ronaldo, wasn't available for the game last week against Al-Akhdoud. He currently leads the Saudi league in goals with 23 goals to his name this season. They are currently in 4th place in the league table with 18 wins, 6 draws, and 6 losses from 30 games. Ronaldo will be aiming to get his name on the scoresheet against Taawoun.
Al-Nassr: Possible Lineup
Stephano Pioli has rotated his squad in the last two games, but the place of Ronaldo and the newly joined John Duran remains unquestionable. Laporte will also be on the pitch
🔖 Al-Nassr Probable starting lineup (4-4-2)
Bento – Al-Ghannam, Simakan, Laporte, Boushal,— Yahya, Al-Hassan, Otavio, Sadio Mane – Cristiano Ronaldo, John Duran
👤 Head coach: Stefano Pioli

Al-Taawoun: form and statistics
Al-Taawoun has had quite a fair run in the league this season. They are a mid-table team, but they would want that to change by next season because they had lots of potential at the start of the league, but they lost that spark as the season got midway. They have now lost two consecutive league games, but it’s nothing to worry about, even if they lose to Al-Nassr on Friday. It still doesn’t change anything for Taawoun. Their last league game was against Al-Qadisiyah, and they had an amazing game. They played and distributed the ball effectively, but lacked the final pass to make the goal happen, and they lost by a narrow 0-1 defeat. There’s no chance for Taawoun to make the top 3 in the league, but they must maintain their impressive form to be able to keep up their position in the league. Furthermore, their overall stats are 11 wins, 8 draws, and 12 losses from 31 league games.
Al-Taawoun: Possible Lineup
There's nothing to lose now for Taawoun, and manager Mohammed Al-Abdali will field his best available players to try and salvage a point or steal the win against Al-Nassr. Al-Nassr has a big task ahead of them, and they won’t take it easy against Taawoun on Friday.
🔖 Al-Taawoun Probable starting lineup (4-1-4-1)
Atiah– Rivas, Al-Ahmed, Girotto, Mahzari,— El-Mahdioui — Mandash, Al-Nasser, Fajr, Musa Barrow— Roger Martinez
👤 Head coach: Mohammed Al-Abdali
