When a new era with Cristiano Ronaldo began, all football pundits expected a lot of trophies for Al Nassr. Unfortunately, that has not been the case, as they only won the Arab Club Champions Cup, which is not considered to be a major trophy. This year, their best chance of winning the title will be in the AFC Champions League, where they reached the Quarter Finals. But they were already eliminated from the domestic cup and were far from impressive in the domestic league. Right now, they are in 4th place with 48 points from 24 matches - three points away from third place, which would give them the opportunity to compete in the AFC CL next season.
Al Kholood secured promotion to the Saudi Professional League after finishing 3rd in Division 1. They are only looking to survive this season and are doing more than a good job. They are in 10th place with 31 points from 24 matches - already 13 points away from the danger zone. And with three wins in the last four games, they have every right to be optimistic about the upcoming games. As it seems now, a mid-table finish looks like the most possible scenario.
Al Nassr vs Al Kholood pick: Over 2.5 goals
Al Nassr are one of the best teams for this type of bet, as 67% of their league games (16 out of 24) finished with three or more goals. They have also been really efficient at home, scoring two or more goals in the last seven matches and three or more in five of those even games! But looking at their offensive talent, that is hardly a surprise. Scoring two or three goals against Al Kholood, which had defensive problems away from home, is a pretty realistic scenario.
Al Kholood are in solid form, winning three of the last four games and scoring six goals - 1.5 per game. They even scored against Al Hilal (5:1), which showed a lot more defensively than Al Nassr.
In the first h2h game this season, we saw an exciting 3:3 draw! Considering the previous h2h game and all the above, we expect another exciting, high-scoring game.

Al Nassr team news
Central defender Mohammed Al Fatil received a straight red card in the previous league game and will be suspended for the Al Kholood match. However, they have a lot of good players at the back, and his absence shouldn't be a massive factor.
When it comes to injuries, Aymeric Laporte, Otavio and Sami al Najei, who missed the previous games, should remain sidelined for the upcoming match as well.
