Al Shabab vs Al Nassr Prediction & Betting Tips (18 October)

Al Nassr are enjoying an incredible run of success on their top-flight travels, stringing together eight wins on the spin at the highest level of the Saudi Professional League. Al Shabab, have found the going somewhat harder on their own patch of late, suffering four consecutive defeats in which they have conceded 12 goals.

Al Nassr don’t tend to be involved in too many thrillers, with under 3.5 goals being the order of the day in 18 of their previous 20 matches at the top table of the Saudi Professional League. This is definitely something that Al Shabab can relate to, as 11 of their last 12 games at this level have also served up three goals or fewer, so any deviation from this script would come as a shock.

Over the course of their last 17 fixtures in the Saudi Professional League, Al Shabab have been involved in just four encounters in which they have both scored and conceded during the same 90 minutes. Although Al Nassr cannot quite match these levels of consistency, at least one of the two keepers has emerged with a clean sheet in 12 of their previous 19 third-tier games.
