Al Akdud is second to last in the table. Five consecutive matches without a loss have returned his hopes for salvation, but in the last round he suffered a 1:2 loss at home to Al Wehda and is now three points away from the safety line. He performs better away and only two of his seven victories so far have been achieved on his home turf, but surprisingly one of them was against the third in the standings Al Ahli with a score of 2:1.
Al Nasr suffered another disappointmentCoach Stefano Pioli is increasingly likely not to be at Al Nasr after the end of the season. Recently, the team was eliminated in the semifinals of the Asian Champions League, and a few days ago suffered another disappointment. They were leading 2:0, but allowed a complete turnaround and a 2:3 loss to Al Ittihad, which also put an end to their last hopes for the title. Now they are even outside the top 3, occupying fourth place and one point away from third. They need to tighten up if they want to avoid being outside the top three in the end, which would be an even bigger failure of the season. In the last 10 matches of Al Nasr there were over 2.5 goals, and in 9 of them both teams scored.
Prediction: Al Nasr to win and both teams to score, over 2.5 goalsAl Akdud is quite lagging behind, but still has a chance to fight for salvation. The question is whether Al Nasr will justify their role as favorites, and they also need a victory, chasing at least a place in the top 3. Despite the recent disappointments, I still think that this time the guests will reach success, but the conditions for another high-scoring match are also present.
