Our Expert Predictions & Analysis on Al Nasr vs Al Feiha

Al Nasr

Just a few weeks ago, Al-Nasr's championship ambitions were clearly being written off, but now Stefano Pioli's team's prospects of breaking into the race for gold do not seem so dire. After the synchronized misfires of Al-Hilal and Al-Ittihad in the round before last, as well as after their own 3-match winning streak, Al-Nasr has already closed to the leaders to within 8 points. Which, of course, is still a solid distance, but at least it is no longer "double-digit".

The club's personnel policy also adds confidence to Al-Nasr fans. Just when skeptics started talking about the stars fleeing the club, the second most expensive transfer in the history of the entire Saudi Arabian League was announced - Colombian John Duran arrived from Aston Villa. And he has already managed to make his debut for Al-Nasr in the Asian Champions League match against Al-Wasl, which Ronaldo's team confidently won 4:0, and Cristiano himself scored a brace.

Al Feiha

Portuguese coach Pedro Emmanuel has not yet been able to build a stable game for the team entrusted to him. Despite the presence of stars like Chris Smalling, Henry Onyekuru and Fashion Sakala in Al-Faihy's roster, the team rarely "jumps above its head". And the "ceiling" for them so far is 13th place, just two points from the danger zone.

It is important to note that there are practically no failures in Fahey's results. What can we say if Emmanuel's team has not lost by more than one goal in 8 rounds of the championship in a row. Given that the opponents included Al-Ittihad (1:1 draw) and the strong Al-Ahli (0:1 defeat).

Perhaps the coaches, players and fans would gladly exchange a few uncompromising defeats or draws with inferior opponents for more victories. After all, there are too many draws in Al-Fayhi's results list this season.

Game Totals Prediction

Having played their Asian Champions League match on Monday, and at home, Al-Nasr is unlikely to face the problem of fatigue, and therefore must confidently and calmly take three points in the battle with a representative of the lower part of the table. The presence of a star attack, where Duran has now been added, allows Pioli's team to play with less regard for defense, and we can bet on the total over 3.5 goals with a coefficient of 2.15. After all, this bet played in 3 of the last 4 matches of Ronaldo and company.
