In the 20th round of the Saudi Pro League, a match will take place between Al-Ahli and Al-Nassr. The game will be held in Jeddah on Thursday, February 13, with a kick-off scheduled for 18:30 Central European Time. I suggest betting on the outcome of the game.
Match Preview
Al-Ahli has been unable to reclaim the championship crown for nearly 9 years, and recently spent a season outside the top division. However, the team boasts a star-studded squad, but it looks unlikely they will move up from their current position of third in the standings this season.
Al-Ahli is comfortably within the top 5 teams of the Pro League and has already secured its spot in the Round of 16 of the AFC Champions League. Notably, the club has only failed to win one of its last seven matches.
Al-Nassr won the championship six years ago, but since the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo, they have struggled to regain the title. In recent years, Al-Hilal has dominated, and this season, Al-Ittihad has unexpectedly entered the title race.
In the winter transfer window, Al-Nassr spent a substantial amount of money on signing Dušan Tadić from Aston Villa, and the forward has quickly justified the investment by scoring two goals in his debut Pro League match.
Match Facts
- Al-Ahli has not lost at home in eight consecutive matches.
- Al-Nassr has won their last five matches.
- Al-Ahli averages 2.6 goals per game at home, while Al-Nassr averages 2 goals per game away.
Possible Lineups
- Al-Ahli: Mendy, Suleiman, Demiral, Dams, Al-Buraikan, Vega, Kessié, Al-Johani, Galenu, Mahrez, Toni.
- Al-Nassr: Bento, Al-Najdi, Laporte, Layami, Abdulrahman, Al-Haybari, Brozovic, Mane, Angelo, Durán, Ronaldo.
Head-to-Head
Al-Ahli has not been able to beat Al-Nassr at home since 2015.
Prediction
Both teams are in good form and have excellent players. I think the match will be exciting, and I would bet on the visitors not losing.
