Al Nassr vs Al Raed Prediction & Betting Tips (7 March)

Al-Nassr has just taken a big blow to the head in the race for the title in the Saudi Pro League. After a series of 6 consecutive successes in the league, he was hooked by Al Hazem, without Cristiano Ronaldo suspended 4-4. At the end of a particularly prolific match, Luis Castro's team was caught in the very last seconds. From now on, the 2nd in the Saudi Pro League is 9 lengths from Al-Hilal 1st. To make matters worse, Al-Nassr lost in its quarter-final first leg of the AFC Champions League, on the Al-Ain pitch at the start of the week 1-0. Just before the return match, he will intend to recover, during the 23rd day of the championship, this Thursday at 6:00 p.m.

It is Al-Raed who will appear on his route. He has been very far from shining in recent weeks. Igor Jovicevic's men have only taken one point in their last 3 days. A very complicated situation, since they are only in 15th position in the Saudi Pro League. Al-Raed is only 2 steps ahead of the red zone. It's hard to imagine him feeling reassured during this trip to the lawn of one of the big Saudis.

There tends to be excitement at both ends when Al Raed take to the field in the Saudi Professional League, with Al Raed coach charges both scoring and conceding in six consecutive matches. Given that this has also been the case in 16 of the most recent 20 Al Nassr home games at this level, it would come as a surprise were either keeper to emerge with a clean sheet.
