• Al Nassr have conceded eight goals in six home games.
• Al Akhdoud have scored in three of their last four games.

Al Akhdoud unlikely to dent Al Nassr title challenge

Al Nassr sit second in the Saudi Pro League and should be able to overcome strugglers Al Akhdoud relatively comfortably on Friday.

However, the hosts are short price favourites and offer little appeal at such short odds.

As such, the value play here could be backing the visitors to strike in defeat as clean sheets have been a bit of a rarity for Al Nassr.

The home side have four wins from their six home games (D1, L1) but have conceded eight goals in total across those fixtures.

Al Akhdoud have scored in three of their last four games overall and in four of their last five away from home, so can at least grab a consolation effort.

A 3-1 win for Al Nassr looks a reasonable correct score prediction as they have hit 14 goals in their six games, while Al Akhdoud have conceded exactly three goals in three of their last five defeats.

Cristiano Ronaldo has hit 13 goals in just 12 league games this season and returns after a strong international break, with a goal and an assist in two games for Portugal, so he is the standout contender for an anytime goal.
