Al-Nassr will face Al-Raed in week 24 of the 2022/2023 Saudi Professional League which can be watched via live streaming on Twitch, Shahid on Friday, April 28, 2023, ET at Al Awal Park at King Saud University.
This match will be a tough test for Al Nassr who is struggling to catch Al Ittihad at the top of the standings. Meanwhile, Al Raed will try to get full points to get away from the relegation zone.
Al Nassr is currently in second place with 53 points, three points behind Al Ittihad who still have one game remaining. With six matches remaining, Al Nassr must not drop a point if they are to maintain their chances of a title and qualification for the AFC Champions League.
However, Al Nassr’s recent performance has not been very impressive. They have just been knocked out of the King Cup of Champions after losing 1-0 to Al Wehda in the quarter-finals. Earlier, they also lost 2-0 to their arch-rivals, Al Hilal, in a league clash which marked the end of a three-match unbeaten streak.
Al Raed, on the other hand, are in 11th place with 26 points, just nine clear of the relegation zone. They are also in poor form, winless in their last three matches in the league. They just lost 3-0 to Al Fateh in a match that took place at the King Abdullah Sport City Stadium. Previously, they were held to a draw by Al-Tai and Al-Shabab with a score of 2-2.
When the two teams last met in a league match last December, Al Nassr won a landslide 4-1 win over Al Raed on the road. Without Cristiano Ronaldo, Talisca was the star for Al Nassr’s victory by scoring a hat-trick in the 61st, 73rd and 89th minutes. Vincent Aboubakar also scored for the visitors. Al Raed’s only reply goal was scored by Alexandru Mitrita in the 28th minute.
The head-to-head record of the two teams is also very different. Al Nassr is unbeaten in their last 13 meetings with Al Raed in the league, with 12 wins and a draw. Al Raed’s last win over Al Nassr was in April 2016. During that unbeaten streak, Al Nassr has scored 41 goals and only conceded nine goals to Al Raed.
One important factor that will determine the outcome of this match is Talisca’s performance. The Brazilian midfielder is Al Nassr’s top scorer this season with 16 goals, which is the second highest tally in the league after Al Hilal’s Omar Khribin who scored 18 goals. Talisca is also a mainstay of Dinko Jeličić, the new coach of Al Nassr who replaced Rudi Garcia this April.
Al Raed also has several players who can be a threat to Al Nassr’s defense. Mohamed Fouzair, Júlio Tavares and Mitrita are Al Raed’s main attacking trio who have scored 21 goals together this season. They will try to take advantage of the gaps that might exist in Al Nassr’s back line which often make mistakes.
This match is predicted to be fierce and exciting. Al Nassr certainly doesn’t want to lose any more points in front of his own supporters, while Al Raed also doesn’t want to return home empty-handed. However, Al Nassr has a better quality and experience advantage than Al Raed. Apart from that, they also have a higher motivation to chase Al Ittihad at the top of the standings. Therefore, the final score prediction for this match is 3-1 for Al Nassr’s victory.
