Al Fayha Team News: No injuries

Al Fayha come into this weekend’s trip to Al Nassr with no fresh injury concerns or suspension issues so they will be able to name an unchanged eleven for this one with what is a fully fit and available squad.

Al Nassr vs Al Fayha Prediction

Stefano Pioli’s Al Nassr most recently enjoyed a 4-0 defeat of Al Wasl at Al Awwal Park in the AFC Champions League earlier this week. They were a bit inconsistent in the first-half of this campaign but they have now enjoyed four successive victories across all competitions and are unbeaten since their return from the winter break. Al Fayha have also been much-improved after the winter break, lifting themselves out of the bottom three and the relegation places with their goalless draw against Al Taawon last weekend meaning they have suffered just one defeat in their last six matches in the Pro League. They will fancy their chances of notching in this game given their form but Al Nassr’s own strong form, as well as the game being played at Al Awwal Park, means they remain firm favourites for this one.
