Al-Nassr vs Al-Orobah Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Cristiano Ronaldo will be chasing his 905th career goal.

Al Nassr will be back in league action after their AFC Championship League win over Al Rayyan. After their underwhelming start to the season, Knight of Najd are getting their campaign back on track. Under their new manager Stefano Pioli, they are finally emerging as a well-drilled side.

They are on a four-match winning streak right now and will look to extend it against their next opponent, Al-Orobah. They are currently fourth on the league table and can rise up to the second position with a win. Al-Orobah on the other hand are struggling to remain in the first half of the table.

Currently ninth in the league rankings, the Sakakah-based club have only managed to win two out of their opening five matches. They have one of the worst defensive records in the Saudi Pro League. Al-Orobah have already conceded seven goals and have a goal difference (GD) of minus one (-1) in the league.

Manager Álvaro Pacheco has the huge task of stopping the star-studded attack of Al-Nassr which includes the likes of Sadio Mane, Talisca and Otàvio along with CR7.

Players to watch out for:

Cristiano Ronaldo (Al-Nassr)

The Portuguese superstar is in brilliant form right now. He has scored seven goals in eight matches so far this season. He is the only player in football history to cross the mark of 900 goals.

That is the perfect representation of his goal-scoring quality. Cristiano Ronaldo is still going strong even at the age of 39 and he should be the point of difference yet again.

Cristian Tello (Al-Orobah)

The former FC Barcelona winger has already scored two goals for Al-Orobah this season. He was the difference-maker in his club’s last fixture against Damac. He scored the only goal in that game and helped earn all three points for Al-Orobah.

The Spaniard will be a constant threat on the left-hand side. Al-Orobah will be hoping that he will showcase his quality against the mighty Qalb Najd.
