Al Qadsiah vs Al Nassr Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Saudi Pro League 2024-25

The hosts have defeated Cristiano Ronaldo and Co. once this season.

Al Qadsiah are all set to host Al Nassr in match week 28 of the Saudi Pro League 2024-25 season. Former Real Madrid teammates Cristiano Ronaldo and Nacho will clash against one another at the Prince Mohammed Bin Fahd Stadium.

Al Qadsiah will be at home this time, which will be a big advantage for them. They have already defeated Al Nassr once this season, but are not looking as sharp as they looked at the start of the season. Winning the league title is almost out of contention for them. They are in fifth place on the Saudi Pro League points table.

Nacho and Co. fell prey to Al Feiha in their previous league encounter. Their form is slowly declining, which was not the case at the start of the season. They are going to face a tough time at home against Stefano Pioli’s men.

Al Nassr have slowly gained their form back and are looking good now. With the current form, they might even go on to win the league title this season. It surely is a tough task, but it is very possible for them.
