Al-Ettifaq FC vs Al-Nassr FC Prediction: Ettifaq is a tough team to play against

Al-Ettifaq will welcome Al-Nassr to Prince Mohammed Bin Fahd Stadium for the fourth round of their Saudi Pro League encounter. Al-Ettifaq is yet to lose a league game this season as they’ve won all 3 games played. Al-Nassr on the other hand have only won a game in the league this season and they’ll be hoping for a positive outcome here. We expect a tough one here with goals from both teams.

Steven Gerard has taken Al-Ettifaq off to a great start in the Saudi Pro League this season as they’ve won all the league games played so far. Al-Ettifaq won their opening game against Al-Shabab by a 0-1 scoreline, their second game of the season against Al-Okhdood ended in a 1-0 win with Moussa Dembele scoring the only goal of the game and their third game against Al-Fateh ended in a 1-2 win. They are currently third placed in the league with three wins from three games played.

Al-Nassr’s first game against Al-Raed ended in disappointment for Al-Nassr as they settled for a 1-1 draw. Ronaldo got the opening goal of the game for Al-Nassr in the 34th minute but they were pegged in the 49th and all efforts to find the net proved abortive. However, they bounced back to winning ways with a sensational 1-4 victory against Al-Feiha in their second league game with Ronaldo also getting on the scoresheet. Their third league game against Al-Ahli was a tough one for Al-Nassr as they conceded a goal in the 57th minute of the game but Bassam Al-Hurayji in the last minute of the game. Their AFC Champions League journey also started this week against Al-Shorta and it ended in a 1-1 draw. They are currently 7th place in the league table with a win and 2 draws from three games played. 

A critical look at their last 20 encounters produced 10 victories for Al-Nassr, 4 wins for Al-Ahli, and 6 draws. 

Al-Nassr must prepare for the game of their lives as Al-Ettifaq is in really good form. Ettifaq has won all games this season while Nasr has only one game with 2 draws. We believe that both teams will find the net and we can bank on that. We should also see a total of over 2.5 goals here and we can also leverage the corner options.
