Al Ta’ee is in very bad form recently, with only 1 win in the last 7 matches. Notably, they conceded all 6 of those 7 matches. Al Ta’ee’s defense system is not in good form, with midfielder Alfa Semedo injured, they could become easy prey for Al Nassr in the next match.
Al Nassr is unstoppable, even though they left their number 1 star, Cristiano Ronaldo, on the bench against Ohod, they still won 5-1. In the match against Al Ta’ee, CR7 will return to the main squad. With his best condition and his opponent’s defense having problems, he promises to continue to shoot like in recent matches.
Although playing at home, Al Taee is inferior to Al Nassr in every aspect. The home team will likely continue to receive another loss, even a heavy defeat.
On Friday night in the Saudi Pro League, Al-Nassr will go to Prince Abdul Aziz bin Musa’ed Stadium to play Al Tai. They will be trying to keep their impressive winning streak going.
The guests are coming into this game after a convincing win in the King’s Cup. On the other hand, Al Tai was eliminated at the first round of that competition the last time they played.
Al Tai is likely to make some changes to the team that lost a thrilling seven-goal game at Al-Ettifaq in the Pro League last time out. However, playmaker Bernard Mensah will definitely keep his spot after scoring three goals.
Even though Rezic’s team lost to Steven Gerrard’s team last weekend, Alfa Semedo was a force in the engine room. The 26-year-old is set to start with Tariq Mohammed in the middle for the hosts on Friday night.
Al-Nassr has a few medical concerns before their away game. Center-back Abdullah Madu might not be able to play because of a muscle problem, but he has returned to first-team training.
So far this season, Sultan Al Ghanam has helped set up four goals in six Pro League games. However, the right back is currently out with an injury he got earlier this week.
Predicted lineup:
Al Taee: Braga, Salem, Roco, Bauer, Alnakhli; Al Harabi, Midjan, Al Qunaian, Abdullah, Cordea, Al Hazza.
Al Nassr: Alaqidi, Al Ghanam, Alamri, Laporte, Qassem, Al Khaibari, Brozovic, Mane, Otavio, Ghareeb, Ronaldo.
