Al Nassr will host Al Riyadh in Week 16 of the Saudi Arabia Pro League at the Al-Awwal Park stadium. This is an important match for the hosts who want to maintain their chances of catching leaders Al Hilal, who are 7 points ahead of them. Meanwhile, Al Riyadh also has the ambition to get full points so they can stay away from the relegation zone. Here’s the review, h2h statistics, line-up predictions, TV channel info and where to watch the live stream.
Al Nassr has a big advantage over Al Riyadh in the record of meetings between the two teams. They have not lost to a visiting team in the last 3 matches in all competitions, with 2 wins and 1 loss. Apart from that, Al Nassr also has a more quality squad, with stars such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Sadio Mane, Talisca and Sami Al Naji.
However, Al Nassr is also experiencing a crisis of confidence after failing to win in the last 3 matches in all competitions. They just suffered a crushing 0-3 defeat to city rivals Al Hilal in the league, and only drew with Persepolis and Istiklol in the Asian Champions League. This condition certainly makes coach Luis Castro have to work hard to raise the enthusiasm of his players.
On the other hand, Al Riyadh is showing quite good performance in the last few weeks. They are unbeaten in the last 3 matches in all competitions, with 1 win and 2 draws. They also managed to score 6 goals and only conceded 3 goals in that period.
Coach Mohammed Al Shalhoub’s team has high motivation to face Al Nassr, because they want to avoid bad luck like last season, when they were relegated from the premier league.
Al Nassr is clearly superior to Al Riyadh when viewed in terms of recent performance and player quality. Moreover, they don’t want to lose any more points at home, but CR7 et al also have to be alert to the threat of Al Riyadh which is on fire.
Odair Hellmann’s troops will not give up easily either, because they want to prove that they deserve to play in Saudi Arabia’s highest league. Al Riyadh will rely on Saleh Al Abbas who has scored 6 goals this season, supported by Juanmi, B. Toure, and K. Musona.
