Al Nassr have been in exceptional form on the road, securing eight consecutive victories in the Saudi Professional League. In contrast, Al Shabab have struggled at home, losing their last four matches while conceding a total of 12 goals.
Matches involving Al Nassr tend to be low-scoring affairs, with under 3.5 goals recorded in 18 of their last 20 league games. Al Shabab share a similar trend, as 11 of their previous 12 matches have also featured fewer than three goals, making a high-scoring encounter unlikely.
In their last 17 league matches, Al Shabab have only been involved in four games where both teams managed to score. Although Al Nassr’s record isn’t quite as consistent in this regard, at least one side has kept a clean sheet in 12 of their previous 19 fixtures.
Prediction
Al Shabab’s home form has been poor, with seven defeats in their last 10 matches, conceding 19 goals in the process. Al Nassr, however, have exceeded expectations this season and have won four of their last nine away games, which puts them in a strong position heading into this match.
Prediction: Al Shabab 0 – 2 Al Nassr.
