Al Nassr vs Al Taawoun Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Saudi Pro League 2024-25

The Knight of Najd smashed a record in the last match.

Al Nassr after their statement win in the last match are set to host Al Taawoun at the Al Awwal Park.  This clash is set to take place in round 32 of the Saudi Pro League on Friday. 

Al Nassr secured a record-breaking win in the last match as they hammered Al Okhdood with nine goals. This match was a glimpse of what Sadio Mane and John Duran can create when on sync. With this match, they continue to stay in third with 63 points, with three more games to go. It was a much-needed win after their consecutive losses. 

Al Taawoun, on the other hand, have struggled to showcase their good form in recent matches. They have secured just one win in their last five matches. This run of poor form has seen them drop to eighth in the standings with 41 points.

They now face a difficult challenge against Al Nassr, who smashed nine goals in the last match that too without Cristiano Ronaldo.
