Al Riyadh vs Al Nassr prediction 23.05.2024

• Competition: Saudi Professional League
• Date: Thursday, 23rd May 2024
• Kickoff: 19:00 UK/20:00 CEST
• Venue: Prince Faisal bin Fahd Stadium (Riyadh)

With only two more rounds left to be played in the best Saudi Arabian football league, we don't have too many open questions. Al Hilal secured the championship title, while Al Nassr and Al Ahli will go into the AFC Champions League with them. Maybe the most interesting in the final rounds will be the fight that will join Al Hazem in relegation to the second level of Saudi Arabian football. 

Al Riyadh are among the teams fighting for survival in the competition. With two games left to be played, Al Riyadh are only two points above the relegation zone. Al Riyadh are struggling as they won only one of the last ten matches. In the previous game, they played 1-1 on the road against Al Hazem. Playing against the worst team in the competition was a golden opportunity for Al Riyadh, but the home side outplayed Odair Hellmann's team, so guests can be very satisfied with one point. 

Al Nassr didn't fulfill any of their goals. They are 12 points behind Al Hilal in the league, while Cristiano Ronaldo and his team were knocked from the AFC Champions League by Al Ain in the quarterfinal. The only chance to improve the image of the 2023/24 season is the cup final that Al Nassr will play against Al Hilal in about ten days. Luis Castro's team was on the run of five wins in a row until the last league round when they played 1-1 at home against Al Hilal. 

Al Riyadh vs Al Nassr pick: Both teams to score - yes

Al Riyadh scored at least one goal in four of the last five matches. On the other hand, Al Nassr scored at least one goal in each of the previous 13 games in all competitions. Both teams to score - yes should be the best bet for this tie.
