Al Akhdood vs Al-Nassr Prediction and Betting Tips | May 9th 2024
Al Akhdood will host Al-Nassr at the Prince Hathloul Stadium on Thursday in another round of the 2023-24 Saudi Professional League campaign. The home side have endured an overall difficult campaign and now find themselves just outside the drop zone with four games left to play in the league.
They played out a goalless draw against Al-Hazem in their game last week and perhaps deserved more from the match but were guilty of wasteful finishing, particularly in the second half.
Al Akhdood sit 15th in the league table with just 28 points from 30 matches. They are level on points with Abha in the first relegation spot and will be looking to pull clear with a win on Thursday.
Al-Nassr, meanwhile, are enjoying a brilliant run of form at the moment and are targeting a strong finish to their league campaign. They thrashed Al-Wehda 6-0 in their last match with four different players getting on the scoresheet including star forward Cristiano Ronaldo, who netted a brilliant hat-trick to take his tally for the season to 47.
The visitors sit second in the table with 74 points from 30 matches and will be looking to continue their strong run of form this week.
