Al Shabab vs Al Nassr FC Betting Tips - Al Nassr Win/Over 2.5 Goals

An entertaining and competitive contest should be expected in Friday´s Saudi League contest as two in-form sides square-off in Riyadh.

Hosts Al Shabab have made a strong start to their campaign, winning five successive matches across all competitions before a 1:0 defeat at Damac in their last league fixture before the international break. 

Home form has been up and down for Al Shabab in 2024 though, with six wins and five defeats recorded from 11 Saudi League games played at Al-Shabab Club Stadium. Vítor Pereira´s men have picked up victories in their last two home fixtures, including a 2:1 win against Al Raed three weeks ago. 

Al Nassr make the short trip to Al-Shabab Club Stadium in excellent recent form, with five successive victories notched up before the international break. Now under the leadership of Italian boss Stefano Pioli, the Al-Alami have improved significantly since the arrival of the former AC Milan boss. 

On the road, Al Nassr can usually be relied upon, with wins picked up in 16 of their last 18 away Saudi League matches since August 2023.

Pioli´s side also have a strong record in recent encounters with Al Shabab, scoring victories in five of their last seven encounters since 2022. All five wins saw at least three goals scored, suggesting we can expect a high-scoring road victory on Friday.

I'm putting my money on AL Nassr to win, in a game where I also fancy a minimum of three goals scored.
