Al Ettifaq vs Al Nassr Prediction: 20/9/2024

Al Ettifaq’s aspirations for success in the Saudi Professional League have been bolstered by their impressive record of six wins in their last seven home matches, giving their campaign a significant push toward securing a top spot in the league. In contrast, Al Nassr have been struggling on the road, enduring nine defeats in their previous 11 away games, regardless of the competition they’ve been part of.

Throughout the current Saudi Professional League season, Al Ettifaq have hosted 16 matches, with 11 of those games featuring under 2.5 goals. Similarly, 10 of Al Nassr’s last 11 away matches have also ended with two or fewer goals, suggesting that this upcoming clash at the Al Ettifaq Stadium is likely to follow the same low-scoring trend.

Al Ettifaq’s recent performances have not been known for thrilling goal-fests, with just three of their last 11 league games seeing goals scored at both ends. Given that 10 of Al Nassr’s previous 11 away fixtures have also seen at least one clean sheet, it’s unlikely both teams will find the net in this encounter.

 

Prediction

While Al Ettifaq’s home ground may not be known for its intense atmosphere, that hasn’t stopped them from excelling in recent matches, winning four consecutive home games in the Saudi Professional League. On the other hand, Al Nassr have struggled away from home, losing nine of their last 18 away matches and securing just one victory.

Prediction: Al Ettifaq 1-0 Al Nassr
