Al Nassr vs Al Ittihad Prediction & Tips
Cristiano Ronaldo has yet to win an official title with Al-Nassr, and this season will be no exception either, as the team is not the favourite in the Saudi championship race.
The recent elimination from the AFC Champions League was particularly painful for the Portuguese. His team was considered favourites against Kawasaki Frontale, but suffered an unexpected defeat, and Ronaldo himself was at the centre of an unbelievable late miss in the final moments of the game.
Al-Ittihad is on the verge of returning to the top of Saudi football. In recent years, they have been the only club capable of challenging Al-Hilal for the title.
In the current campaign, the team was able to take advantage of the reigning champions’ slip-ups and, after a year, is poised to reclaim the gold medals. In the last five matches, Laurent Blanc’s side have dropped points twice, but retain a solid lead over second place.
