Al-Ittihad vs Al-Nasr: Saudi Arabian Championship Match Prediction
In the central match of the 13th round of the Saudi Arabian championship, the top clubs of the Premier League and one of the main contenders for the championship, Al-Ittihad and Al-Nasr, will meet. The hosts currently occupy first place, having won 11 of 12 matches, and the visitors are in third place and are eight points behind their opponents. At the same time, bookmakers give a slight preference to Al-Nasr. Which of the opponents will be able to score important points on December 6? The answer is in our forecast.
Command Analysis
Al Ittihad
Saudi ArabiaCurrent form
Al-Ittihad finished last season in fifth place and missed out on continental tournaments, which is considered a failure, given the club roster and ambitions. The current championship draw has been much more successful for the hosts - the club leads the standings and is two points ahead of the current champion, Al-Hilal. Perhaps, Al-Ittihad star-studded squad needed time to get used to each other. Now the club from Jeddah is demolishing everyone in its path. The only failure befell Laurent Blanc charges in the match with Al-Hilal (1:3), and the hosts won all the other matches. The club continues to compete in the King Cup - in the 1/8 final match against Al-Jandal, many key players got a well-deserved rest, but the "tigers" still won with a score of 2:0.
Disqualifications and injuries
The hosts have no problems with their lineup ahead of the match with their rival.
Interesting trends for betting
- The team has not conceded a single goal in the last six matches.
- The club has won ten games in a row
Probable lineup: Rajkovic - Al-Amri, Al-Mousa, Al-Shanqiti, Mitai - Fabinho, Kante - Diaby, Aouar, Bergwijn - Benzema
Al Nassr FC
Saudi ArabiaCurrent form
Al-Nasr was Al-Hilal main rival for the championship last season, but in the end they were unable to get any closer to their rival and had to settle for silver medals. This season, the team has also been losing points too often and is only third, eight points behind the leading Al-Ittihad. In their last match, the visitors lost to Al-Sadd (1:2) in the Champions League, and before that they managed to beat Damak, who was inferior in their class, with a score of 2:0 in the championship.
Disqualifications and injuries
There are no injured players on the team.
Interesting trends for betting
- None of the last six matches of the visitors ended in a draw
- The team has won four of its last six matches.
Probable line-up: Bento - Bouchal, Lajami, Simakan, Al-Ghalam - Otavio, Brozovic - Mane, Angelo, Gharib - Ronaldo.
Trends
Bet Exact score 2:0
The hosts have won two of their last three games by that score.
17.00Bet At least one team will not score
The bet has played in the hosts' last six matches
2.45Bet Number 2 in the final score
This pattern has worked in the last two head-to-head matches
2.10Tip and bets
The hosts have been showing excellent football this season and have already extended their winning streak to 10. It is clear that this streak cannot last forever, but Al-Nasr is currently playing much less consistently, and the club recently suffered a setback in the Champions League, where they spent a lot of effort. Bookmakers favor the visitors, but we suggest believing in the continuation of Al-Ittihad winning streak.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (0) on Al-Ittihad for 1.95
Bet on total
The rivals are fighting for the championship and will probably prepare for this match thoroughly. We think that the teams will play collectedly in defense and will not allow each other to create many scoring chances. It seems that the outcome of the match will be decided by one or two goals scored.
Our prediction is under three goals for 2.00
Bet on corners
The opponents will be fully focused on defensive actions, they will not open up much and it seems that we should not expect a large number of standard positions.
Our prediction is total under 9.5 corners for 1.82
