Al Ittihad and Al Nassr will face off in the MatchDay 17 of the Saudi Pro League.
Al-Ittihad is expected to create sufficient opportunities to score against this Al-Nassr side. However, scoring just one goal may not be sufficient for them to secure a positive result.
Al-Ittihad looks to bounce back from their recent 1-3 loss to Al-Raed in Professional League action.
In that game, Al-Ittihad had 61% possession and 9 attempts at goal, with 3 on target. Al-Raed, on the other hand, had 16 shots at goal, with 7 on target.
While Al-Ittihad has been conceding goals frequently in recent matches, they have also been effective in converting their own chances. Over their last 6 games, Al-Ittihad had their goal breached in 5 matches but managed to score in all 6.
Last 5 Games: Won: 2, Draw: 0, Lost: 3, Scored: 8, Conceded: 10, Clean Sheets: 1.
Al-Nassr enters the upcoming meeting on the back of a 3-1 Professional League victory over Al-Ettifaq in their previous fixture.
In that game, Al-Nassr had 66% possession and took 20 shots at goal, with 10 on target. On the defensive end, Al-Ettifaq managed 5 shots at goal, with 2 on target.
Over their latest six matches, Al-Nassr has seen their efforts on goal result in 11 goals. During the same period, they have conceded a total of 6 goals.
With a fully healthy squad to choose from, the Al-Nassr manager has no fitness concerns ahead of this game.
