Al-Nassr Riyadh
In their last outing, Al-Nassr Riyadh secured a convincing 3-0 victory over Al-Ittifaq. This result extended their unbeaten run to four matches in the Saudi Pro League. Al-Nassr has been particularly strong at home, where they have won their last three games, scoring a total of eight goals and conceding none.
- The team has not lost in their last five home matches in the league (4 wins, 1 draw).
- Al-Nassr has kept a clean sheet in three of their last four home games.
- The number "2" has appeared in the scoreline at the end of regular time in 4 of Al-Nassr's last 6 home matches.
Al-Fateh
Al-Fateh comes into this match after a 1-1 draw against Al-Shabab. The team has struggled on the road, failing to win any of their last four away fixtures. Al-Fateh's defense has been a concern, as they have conceded at least two goals in each of their last three away games.
- The team has not won in their last four away matches in the league (2 draws, 2 losses).
- Al-Fateh has conceded more than one goal in 3 of their last 4 away games.

Al-Nassr Riyadh vs. Al-Fateh: Match Prediction
Al-Nassr Riyadh has shown impressive form at home, and their solid defense will be a key factor in this match. Al-Fateh, on the other hand, has struggled on the road, particularly in defense. Given these factors, I anticipate a low-scoring affair with Al-Nassr having the upper hand.
My prediction: Total under 2.5 goals
