Al-Nassr vs. Al Quadisiya: Match Preview, Odds & Prediction

When Al Quadisiya visits Al-Awwal Park on Friday, Al-Nassr will hope to maintain its perfect start to the Saudi Pro League.

The visitors hope to win a fourth league game in succession. Both teams won their previous top-flight games and are trying to extend their respective streaks.

Previous Matches and Head-to-head 

Although they have not yet lost a game this year, Al-Nassr, the champions of the Saudi Pro League, are looking to dethrone rivals Al-Hilal since they are already six points behind their table-topping rivals after ten games.

Al-Alami followed their 1-1 draw against Al-Hilal with a 5-1 hammering of Al Ain in the AFC Champions League. Immediately before the international break, Sadio Mane's 41st-minute strike helped secure a 1-0 triumph against Al Riyadh.

In his first seven games in charge since mid-September, Stefano Pioli has a record of five victories and two draws. However, his club is now in third position with 22 points, five points behind second-ranked Al-Ittihad.

Though they have one trip to Al-Gharafa in the AFC Champions League wedged between both games, the Knights of Najd will now play Al-Qadisiyah and Damac in back-to-back home matches, looking to cut the top gap.

Currently on a four-match home winning run when they play as host, Al-Nassr have dominated their home matches against Friday's opponents, losing only one but winning 10 of 14 such games.

After the season, Al-Qadisiyah was promoted to the top division, thus completing a three-year hiatus from the Saudi Pro League.

Having picked up six victories from their first ten matches and seeming to have resolved its stop-start motion in recent weeks, the Knight of the East has had a decent start on their return to the top level.

Michel's team won their previous three league games in succession, the most recent of which was a 2-0 triumph against Al Fayha before the break. Their side won three of their first seven matches, with three losses and one tie between those triumphs.

With 19 points, three behind Friday's hosts Al-Nassr and two behind fourth-placed Al-Shabab, the guests' steadiness has allowed them to ascend to fifth in the rankings.

With two victories sandwiched between two defeats on the road, the squad anchored in the eastern city of Khobar hopes to reduce this deficit with a victory on Friday. They have not been brilliant away from home.

Al-Nassr also has one player out due to injury: Sami Al-Najei, who was declared out for the whole season after cruciate ligament surgery.

With each of his three goals in his past seven league games coming from the penalty spot, a streak he will be looking to finish when he leads the line in this battle. Ronaldo has failed to score from open play in his last seven league games.

Having already equaled Ronaldo's six league goals, Talisca has been the key man for the hosts in recent weeks; he will aim to get back on the scoreboard as he begins in the attacking quartet with Man, Ronaldo, and Abdulrahman Ghareeb.

Ibrahim Mohannashi has fitness problems, and the guests will enter the game without left winger Saif Rajab, who tore a muscle fiber in the adductor region.

On the scoreboard, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was matching striking partner Julian Quinones, both of whom are anticipated to start Friday once again, with his league total of four.
