Saudi Arabia League: Al Riyadh x Al Nassr, Match Preview, Odds and Predictions(23/05/2024)

There aren't many unanswered questions in the top Saudi Arabian football league, with only two rounds remaining. Al Nassr and Al Ahli will join Al Hilal in the AFC Champions League after the latter won the tournament. The battle to join Al Hazem in relegation to the Saudi Arabian football second division may be the most intriguing of the last rounds.

Al Riyadh x Al Nassr team news

There will be two key absentees from Al Riyad. This season, Saleh Al-Abbas has eight goals and three assists; however, a tendon tear will prevent him from playing. Moreover, Al Riyadh will miss offensive midfielder Knowledge Musona (four goals in 22 games) against Al Nassr.

Furthermore, Al Nassr is having issues with absent players. Of course, Talisca (16 goals in 17 league games) is the most significant, but Luis Castro's club will also miss Mohammed Maran, Ayman Yahya, and Abdulrahman Ghareeb.

Head To Head And Previous Matches

Al Riyadh is one of the teams battling to stay in the tournament—only two points separate Al Riyadh from the relegation zone with two games remaining. Only one of the last ten games has seen Al Riyadh win; hence, they are in trouble. They tied Al Hazem 1-1 away in the last match. Playing against the lowest club in the league was a great chance for Al Riyadh, but the home team outperformed Odair Hellmann's squad so that visitors may be happy with one point.

Al Nassr achieved no one of its objectives. In the league, they trail Al Hilal by 12 points, while Al Ain eliminated Cristiano Ronaldo and his squad in the quarterfinals of the AFC Champions League. The cup final between Al Nassr and Al Hilal in around ten days is the only opportunity to save the 2023–24 season's reputation. Up to their 1-1 home draw against Al Hilal in the previous league round, Luis Castro's club had won five straight games.

Our Predictions

Both teams are to score @1.70 on Sky247.ng.

Four out of the previous five games saw Al Riyadh score at least one goal. But in the previous 13 games in all competitions, Al Nassr scored at least one goal. Both teams to score should be the greatest wager for this matchup.
