PREDICTED XI (4-2-3-1): Bento; Al Ghanam, Simakan, Laporte, Boushal; Al Khaibari, Brozovic; Otavio, Talisca, Mane; Cristiano Ronaldo

AL SHABAB VS AL NASSR PREDICTION
A couple of weeks ago, after winning four successive matches, Al Shabab suffered a slender 1-0 defeat to Damak before the international break with a Georges-Kevin Nkoudou winner. Al Nassr were runners’ up last year and they are once again unbeaten this time around with four victories and two draws in their opening six matches. Given how stubborn they are to beat, a double chance bet in their favour looks the way to go for this one.
