Our Top Al Nassr vs Al Shabab Predictions and Tips

Cristiano Ronaldo to Score First

Since Al Nassr needs this win badly and they will likely push hard and score multiple goals to get it, there is very little doubt about who will get on the scoresheet for the home team.

Cristiano Ronaldo is the team's top scorer with thirteen goals in fourteen games, so expect him to score a goal and he will likely lead the way by finding the net first. So, our first Al Nassr vs Al Shabab prediction is for Cristiano Ronald to score first.

Al Nassr to Win

Thanks to Al Ittihad's draw in the last round and their win over Al Tae in the last round, Al Nassr is now just three points behind Al Ittihad in the title race, with three games left in the season.

So, there is still a chance for Ronaldo and his teammates to win this title, but they need to keep winning. With that in mind, our second Al Nassr vs Al Shabab prediction is for the home team to get the three points.

Al Nassr – Al Shabab Preview – Recent Form, Team News, and Probable Lineups

Now we will take a better look at both teams before their duel, including the most likely Al Nassr vs Al Shabab lineups.

Al Nassr

After their win over Al Tae in the last round, Al Nassr managed to reduce the gap that Al Ittihad has over them in the title race since they failed to win last time around. So, Al Nassr is now three points behind and with three games left to be played in Saudi Pro League, there is still hope for Ronaldo to win the title with Al Nassr.

Meanwhile, Al Nassr remains without their starting goalkeeper David Ospina since he is out for the season.

Al Nassr Predicted Lineup:

Rossi – Al Ghanam, Al Oujami, Gonzalez, Konan – Al Sulaiheem, Al Khaibari, Luiz Gustavo – Talisca, Ronaldo, Ghareeb

Al Shabab

Even though they are third in the standings, Al Shabab hasn't been in good form recently. After all, the team lost three of their last four matches in Saudi Pro League and now they are tied with Al Hilal in points. So, Al Shabab will also be fighting for points in this match as they try to hold on to their spot in league table.

Al Shabab Predicted Lineup:

Kim – Al Harby, Iago, Krychowiak, Al Sagour – Al-Qahtani, Sharahili – Carvalho, Banega, Quanca – Abdu

Starting Lineups

Teams often release their starting lineups an hour before the kickoff.

Player to Watch: Cristiano Ronaldo

Our player to watch in this game is obviously Cristiano Ronaldo as all eyes are on him whenever Al Nassr plays a game and with his team needing points in this game to stay in the title race, Ronaldo will have to lead the way again.

Since he got to Al Nassr, Ronaldo scored thirteen goals in the league in fourteen games and added two assists as well, so Al Shabab will have to do their best to stop the Portuguese forward in this match.
