Al Khaleej vs Al Nassr Prediction
Al Khaleej come into this one on the back of an impressive 3-0 hammering of struggling Al Orubah the other day. The home team had been winless in their previous three matches as they try and establish themselves in the top-half of the table. They now face an Al Nassr side that, under the management of former AC Milan manager Stefano Pioli, have underwhelmed this season, winning just eight of their 15 games as one of the so-called ‘big four’ in Saudi Arabia. They were held to a 1-1 draw against Al Taawon at the weekend and a good value bet could well be to side with Al Khaleej, especially with their home advantage.
Al Khaleej vs Al Nassr Tip: Double chance – Al Khaleej to win or draw
