Before Betting
Al-Nassr’s title hopes hang in the balance as they host Al-Wehda this weekend. Stefano Pioli’s arrival has at least sparked better performances from the team, as they have won twice on the bounce.
However, Al-Nassr were more workman-like than impressive on their latest outing, as they needed a late Nawaf Boushal winner to see off Al-Hazm in the King Cup of Champions on Monday.
But, it is worth noting that Al-Nassr dominated that clash, registering 21 shots compared to the seven recorded by their rivals. Ronaldo was rested in that cup clash, and the superstar is expected to return on Friday.
The hosts will be heavily expected to gain maximum points this week. Al-Wehda have found life tricky in the Saudi Pro League this term, winning once in their opening four matches.
Confidence would have been gained on Sunday after earning progression in the King Cup of Champions following a penalty shootout against Al-Faisaly.
However, their poor defensive record is likely to be tested this weekend. Al-Wehda have already conceded a league-high of 12 goals this term, and they have suffered successive defeats in the Pro League.
Al-Nassr vs. Al-Wehda Prediction
Al-Nassr have averaged 2.2 goals per game in their last eleven matches against Al-Wehda. They encountered few issues against their rivals in the league last term, scoring nine times in the two meetings.
Those trends are damning to the chances of the visitors, and it could be worth siding with the hosts to cover the spread.
