Al-Taawoun FC vs Al Nasr Prediction & Betting Tips - Saudi Pro League

Prediction published on 30/12/2023, 04:26  by Sridhar in Saudi Pro League Predictions

Al-Nassr would be keen to stay close to the leaders as they travel to Al-Taawoun in a huge top-four clash in Saudi Arabia. This matchday 19 of the Saudi Pro League will be played on Saturday at the King Abdullah International Stadium in Jeddah. The hosts are 4th with 34 points while the visitors are 2nd with 43 points. Al-Taawoun are three points behind top-three spots and with only three teams guaranteed qualification for the AFC Champions League Elite League Stage, they would be keen to get a win here. They are coming off a 3-1 defeat to Al Fateh, that ended a run of three straight wins. After starting the season with seven wins from their first nine matches, the hosts seem to have lost a bit of steam. Improving the home form will be critical as they have won just once across their last five home league games – losing and drawing twice each.

Al-Nassr start this round seven points behind leaders Al-Hilal and can’t afford a loss here that could push them further down in the title race. They are coming off a 5-2 win over Al-Ittihad where Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mane have both scored a brace each. It was their third league win in a row and in a way compensated for the three-game winless run prior to that. Nevertheless, they are still in the race to finish top and would look to continue their winning streak. They did win nine of their last 11 away games in all competitions and seven of their last eight in the league on the road, but continuing that impressive form will be key to their chances.
