If anyone can take points from Al-Hilal at the moment, it is Al-Nasr. The hosts will definitely be extremely motivated to face their main rival, especially after their elimination from the Copa del Rey. Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates will definitely give it their all in the home match. We suggest believing that Stefano Pioli team will earn at least one point in the match against the current champion.
Our prediction is Al-Nasr not to lose at 1.75

Our prediction is total under 3.5 goals with odds of 1.75
