Al-Nassr Riyadh has been in impressive form at home, showing strong defensive capabilities. They have been able to maintain clean sheets in most of their recent matches. On the other hand, Al-Fateh has struggled on the road, with a lack of goals being a significant issue. Given these factors, a low-scoring affair is expected.
