Al-Nassr vs Al-Rayyan Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds
Knight of Najd are cooking under Stefano Pioli’s leadership.
Al-Nassr are starting to look like a well-drilled side ever since Stefano Pioli took charge of the team. Knight of Najd’s are currently placed third in the league and are just a point behind league leaders Al-Ittihad. They have secured three consecutive wins on the road. This match against the Qatari side in the AFC Champions League is a wonderful opportunity to rest some players and give the others some much-needed game time. Hopefully, they can secure their first win in the competition in this game.
Al-Rayyan haven’t been at their best form this season as they find themselves in the ninth spot in the Qatar Stars League. The team have managed to win just once in the last six matches highlighting their inconsistency. Nicolas Cordova’s side has also lost their first match against Al-Nassr’s rivals in the league Al Hilal and now faces another difficult challenge.
Kick-Off:
Monday, 30 September 2024 at 7:00 PM UK, 11:30 PM IST
Location: Al Awal Park
Form
Al-Nassr (in all competitions): D-D-W-W-W
Al-Rayyan (in all competitions): L-W-L-L-L
Players to Watch
Sadio Mane (Al-Nassr)
Sadio Mane was once considered among the best players in the world during his time at Liverpool. However, with Al-Nassr things have not gone his way with the versatile attacker failing to establish himself as one of the main men on the team. This season, he has appeared nine times for them but has just managed to score once but he does have five assists to his name. These are not impressive numbers for someone with his qualities and he will be hoping to add more goals to his game.
Roger Guedes (Al-Rayyan)
Roger Guedes has been in fine form for the Qatari outfit this campaign scoring four goals from the opening seven matches. Guedes has also opened his account in the competition with a well-taken goal against Al Hilal in the last match. His versatility makes him a real asset for Al-Rayyan who will be hoping he inspires them to a win against Al-Nassr.
