Al Nassr vs Al Fayha Prediction and Betting Tips | April 19th 2024

Al Nassr will welcome Al Fayha to Al-Awwal Park in Saudi Pro League action on Friday.

The hosts are currently on a four-game winning run in the league and registered a 1-0 away win over Damac in their previous league outing. Aymeric Laporte bagged the match-winner in the first minute of injury time, with midfielder Marcelo Brozović picking up the assist.

They saw their four-game winning run end earlier this month, as they lost 2-1 to arch-rivals Al Hilal in the Saudi Super Cup semi-finals. Cristiano Ronaldo was sent off in the 86th minute and Sadio Mane bagged a consolation goal in added time.

The visitors returned to winning ways after three games in their previous league outing, as Fashion Sakala's brace and a late goal from Abdelhamid Sabiri helped them register a 3-0 home triumph over Al Akhdoud.

Al Nassr vs Al Fayha Prediction

Al-Alami have been in good touch recently and head into the match on a four-game winning run in the league, keeping three clean sheets. They fell to a 2-1 loss to Al Hilal in the Saudi Super Cup last time around but will have home advantage in this match and should bounce back with a win.

They have an unbeaten home record against the visitors, keeping six clean sheets in eight games, and are strong favorites. They will play after a 10-day break and head coach Luís Castro should have a well-rested squad to choose from here.

Al Burtuqali bounced back with a win after two back-to-back losses and will look to build on that form. Nonetheless, they have scored just one goal in their last six meetings against the hosts, which is cause for concern.

Considering the current form of the two teams and the hosts' dominance in this fixture, they are expected to record a comfortable win.

Prediction: Al Nassr 2-1 Al Fayha
