Al-Nassr

The "Global Club" was relatively obscure until the transfer of Cristiano Ronaldo. Despite being the nine-time champion of Saudi Arabia, they failed to clinch the top spot, trailing Al-Ittihad by five points. Despite splurging on new players and appointing star coach Luís Castro, the situation didn't significantly improve.
Currently, the "Knights of Nejd" sit in second place, trailing Al-Hilal by seven points. In their recent match, Ronaldo and his cohorts secured a 2-1 victory over Al-Fateh at home. Fortunately, in the Champions League, Al-Nassr comfortably topped their group, accumulating 14 points in six matches. However, they simply coasted through the final fixtures, settling for draws in the last two rounds.

Al-Fayha

The "Orange" recently played in the First Division but swiftly won the Saudi Arabian Cup and Super Cup upon returning to the elite league. Despite finishing 11th in the Pro League, Al-Fayha earned a spot in the Champions League. Under Vuk Rašović's management, they secured three victories and three losses in the group stage, advancing to the playoffs as the group runners-up.
In their recent league match, the "Orange" secured a 3-1 victory over bottom-placed Al-Hazem away, breaking a streak of five consecutive defeats. Such a prolonged string of misfortunes has relegated Vuk Rašović's team to 13th place in the league table. Al-Fayha is just four points clear of the relegation zone.

Interesting Match Facts and Head-to-Head History

• Al-Nassr won the first leg of the tie thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo's goal in the 81st minute
• In four out of the last five encounters, only one team has scored.

Al-Nassr vs Al-Fayha Prediction

Certainly, bookmakers favor Al-Nassr in this match; however, the odds on the hosts are simply laughable. We believe it's appropriate to place a bet on Al-Fayha with a handicap in their favor.
