Al-Nassr FC (12th)

Form: L

Al-Nassr celebrated a historic achievement by clinching their first-ever Arab Club Champions title. Their victory came through a remarkable 1-2 scoreline against Al-Hilal in the final. Ronaldo's exceptional performance played a pivotal role in securing the trophy, overcoming a goal deficit early in the second half.

However, Al-Nassr experienced a setback in their opening league match of the season, succumbing to a loss against Ettifaq. This could be attributed to the fatigue stemming from their involvement in the Arab Club Champions Cup, with many key players unavailable for the match against Ettifaq. However, the upcoming Friday game offers an opportunity for them to reestablish their winning form.

Al-Taawoun FC ( 11th)

Expert Betting Tips

Al-Nassr's defeat to Al-Ettifaq can be attributed to the weariness resulting from their participation in the Arab Champions Cup, leading to the strategic resting of several key players for the match against Al-Ettifaq. However, as they prepare to face Al-Taawoun on Friday, we anticipate Al-Nassr's full lineup to be in action, projecting a performance that's nothing short of a masterclass. Our prediction leans towards an Al-Nassr victory accompanied by over 1.5 goals.

Considering the strength of Al-Taawoun, they might manage to find the net on Friday, rendering the possibility of a total of over 2.5 goals a compelling choice. Additionally, we foresee goal-scoring action in both halves of the game, and for those who enjoy higher risks, there's a potential punt on a goal from Ronaldo on Saturday.
