Preview: Al Nassr vs Al Ettifaq Prediction, odds, where to watch, time | Saudi Pro League 2025-26
The previous outing between these clubs ended in a 2-2 draw.
Al Nassr are now going to lock horns with Al Ettifaq for their matchweek 29 contest of the 2025-26 Saudi Pro League. This is going to be an intense encounter, which will take place at the Al-Awwal Park.
The Jorge Jesus-led side will be at home for their upcoming outing, and this is going to be an added advantage for them. They are coming in after securing an easy 2-0 win against Al Akhdoud in their last matchup. It was a good performance by them.
Al Nassr are on a phenomenal run of form at the moment. With 24 wins in 28 games, they are at the top spot on the league table. They will be looking to extend their winning run and create issues for the visitors.
Al Ettifaq continue to perform inconsistently. After securing a 3-2 win against Al Qadsiah, they underperformed and fell prey to Al Riyadh in their previous league fixture. They need to work on their defence, or they are going to suffer a defeat once again.
The Commandos are in seventh place on the Saudi Pro League points table at the moment. Because of their current form, Saad Al-Shehri’s men are going to have a tough contest on their hands. Additionally, being away from home will keep them under pressure from the start.
