Al Nassr vs Al Ittihad Prediction

Al-Alami have enjoyed a 10-game unbeaten run in the league, with the last two games ending in draws. Interestingly, they are winless in their last five home meetings against the visitors, suffering three losses, which is cause for concern.

The Tigers returned to winning ways after five games last week, scoring four goals, and will look to build on that form. They have just one win in their last four away games and might struggle here.

Both teams have some notable absentees, which is likely to impact the outcome of the match. With that in mind and considering their current form, a draw is likely to ensue.

Prediction: Al Nassr 2-2 Al Ittihad
