Al-Raed vs Al-Nassr Prediction and Betting Tips | September 16, 2023
Al-Nassr visit the King Abdullah Sport City Stadium on Saturday (September 16) to face Al-Raed in the Saudi Pro League, looking to extend their winning run in the competition to four games.
After starting their 2023-24 campaign with consecutive defeats, Al-Nassr have picked themselves up to win their next three and get their season up and running.
The Knights of Najd thrashed Al Fateh 5-0 on matchday three and followed up with a 4-0 drubbing of Al-Shabab. Before going into the international break, Luís Castro's side also made light work of Al-Hazm in a 5-1 demolition job.
With nine points in five games, Al-Nassr are sixth in the standings, eight places above Al-Raed. Al-Raed, too, got off on a wrong note, losing their opening three games to Al-Ittihad, Abha and Al-Hilal, before seeing off Al-Riyadh 3-0 for their first win of the season. However, their celebrations were short-lived, as Al Feiha held them to a goalless draw.
Nonetheless, their last two results helped the Buraidah outfit climb out of the relegation zone. They're 14th with four points in five games.
