Al Nassr vs Al Ain Lineups, prediction, betting tips & odds

The Riyadh outfit eye securing all three points against the Abu Dhabi roster.

Match Week 4 of the AFC Champions League Elite takes us to the Al Awwal Park in Riyadh where Al Nassr are scheduled to lock horns against Al Ain.

Al Nassr currently find themselves positioned third in the Saudi Pro League table with five wins and four draws. They are six points behind the table toppers Al Hilal. Stefano Pioli’s side began their quest to conquer Asia with a draw against Al Shorta before registering two back-to-back wins against Al Rayyan and Esteghlal FC. Their most recent encounter against Al Hilal saw them settling for a point despite taking an early lead in the first minute after Talisca’s goal

Al Ain’s start to the domestic as well as continental competition has not been a very promising one. They find themselves struggling at the bottom half of the UAE Pro League with just eight points from five matches. The situation is even worse when it comes to the topmost division of Asian club football.

With a solitary point in three matches, Al Ain are on the verge of bidding adieu to the competition at an early stage. They will need to unleash their inner beast and put on a formidable display of football.
