Team Preview
Al Wehda’s Performance
Al Wehda suffered a 1-0 defeat against Al Kholood last Saturday, continuing their struggles in the league. They have now lost four consecutive matches and failed to win in their last seven outings, managing just one draw since their 2-1 victory over Al Fateh on January 9.
With the 2024-25 Pro League campaign nearing its end, Al Wehda sit at the bottom of the table with 13 points from 21 games, four points away from safety. Their defensive frailties have been a major issue, conceding 51 goals—more than any other team in the league.
Al Nassr’s Performance
Al Nassr’s title hopes suffered a major blow with a 3-2 defeat against Al Ettifaq last Friday, conceding twice in the final eight minutes. The loss leaves them out of the title race, with Al Ittihad securing the championship.
Stefano Pioli’s side has also struggled in other competitions, crashing out of the 2024-25 King’s Cup and falling behind in the AFC Champions League. Their focus now shifts to securing a top-four finish, as they currently sit fourth with 44 points from 21 games, three points behind third-placed Al Qadsiah.
Al Nassr will look to bounce back against an out-of-form Al Wehda, who have lost their last three matches and have failed to win eight of their last 10 meetings, losing seven and drawing one since November 2019.
Key Stats
- Al Wehda have failed to win in their last seven matches, losing six and drawing one.
- Al Nassr have won five of their last six league matches.
- Al Wehda have conceded 51 goals this season, the highest in the league.
- Al Nassr have scored at least two goals in each of their last five matches.
Match Prediction
Al Wehda’s defensive struggles and poor form make them vulnerable against a strong Al Nassr side. Despite their recent defeat, Al Nassr’s attacking power, led by Cristiano Ronaldo, should give them the edge in this matchup.
Prediction: Al Wehda 0-3 Al Nassr
