Al-Nassr vs Al-Raed prediction and betting tips on March 7, 2024
In the context of the 23rd round of the Saudi Arabian Championship, Al-Nassr will play against Al-Raed at the "KSU Stadium" in Riyadh. Will the hosts encounter any problems? Here's the prediction for this match from the experts at Dailysports.
Al-Nassr
Under the guidance of Luiz Felipe Scolari, the team is competing in several tournaments simultaneously and stands a chance to secure multiple trophies by the end of the current season. Last weekend, Al-Nassr faced Al-Ain away in the AFC Champions League quarter-finals and suffered a narrow 0-1 defeat. The outcome of this tie will be decided in the return leg.
After a break in the league, "The Global Club" secured seven points from three matches in February, defeating Al-Fateh and Al-Shabab, and drawing at home against Al-Hazem. In the Saudi Arabian Championship standings, Al-Nassr currently occupies the second position, trailing Al-Hilal by nine points.
Al-Raed
Under Igor Jovicevic's management, the team fails to impress and is battling for survival in the top division. After 22 rounds, Al-Raed sits in 15th place in the Pro League standings, having accumulated only 20 points. In their last league match, Al-Raed suffered a 1-2 defeat at home against Al-Fayha.
Thus, after two consecutive league victories against Al-Ittihad (3-1) and Abha (4-3), Jovicevic's side has dropped points in three consecutive matches, losing two of them. Away from home, Al-Raed has secured just one victory in 11 matches, suffering five defeats and registering the same number of draws.
