On the 16th of December, Al Nassr and Al Raed will play a match in Buraydah in a meeting of these two Pro League teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 19 degrees, which is great football weather. 11th placed Al Raed is fresh off their 0-1 loss against Al Fateh. Firas Albirakan struck first for Al Fateh in the 10th minute, and that was all the excitement the two teams could muster At the end of 90 a dissapointed Al Raed couldn’t manage to score, and Al Fateh took the shutout win. Al Raed is looking for direction having 3 win and 5 losses in their last 10 matches, while al Nassr sits at 2nd place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 4-0 shutout win against Al Feiha. Luiz Gustavo scored the first goal for Al Nassr in the 75th minute, then Anderson Talisca added another in the 81st minute In the end, Al Feiha couldn’t muster any offence and Al Nassr ran away with the shutout win. With 21 points in their last 10 matches Al Nassr should be reasonably happy with their performance.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out. Last season Al Nassr won the head to head battle with 1 win.
Al Nassr has been fortunate! In the last five matches, both Anderson Talisca and Luiz Gustavo are on scoring streaks. They have each scored 4 goals for Al Nassr and look to continue their dominance.. Al Raed’s top weapon lately has been Karim Berkaoui, who has 2 goals in the last 5 matches.
