AL NASSR VS AL ORUBAH PREDICTION
Al Nassr will be frustrated to have dropped points in two matches so far this season and they do begin this weekend’s round of fixtures sitting four points back from top-of-the-table and dominant defending champions Al Hilal. They face an Al Orubah side that have started steadily with two wins, a draw and two defeats in their opening five matches, more than respectable for a newly-promoted side. Despite that, though, Al Nassr should win quite comfortably, especially with their home advantage.
