Al Shabab vs Al Nassr Preview: Latest Form, Team News, and Probable Lineups
While the home team is the absolute favourite, this can be an exciting duel. So, let's take a better look at both teams now:
Al Shabab
Although they are just three points behind league leaders and their next opponent Al Nassr in the title race in Saudi Arabian Professional League, Al Shabab has struggled a bit lately. The team has two wins, two draws, and two losses in the last six games in the league, which is far from championship form. Still, a win over Al Nassr would see them tied for the top spot.
Al Shabab Predicted Lineup:
Kim – Al Hambri, Tambakti, Iago, Al Sagour – Banega, Krychowiak, Al-Quahtani – Bahebri, Guanca, Carvalho
Al Nassr
As the world still expects Cristiano Ronaldo's debut for Al Nassr, which as been delayed due to a two-match been that Ronaldo was handed down by the English FA before signing for Al Nassr, his new team is also awaiting the derby against Al Shabab, their biggest threat in the title race. Right now, Al Nassr is in great form with five wins in the last six games in the league, but they still remain only three points ahead of Al Shabab ahead of their upcoming duel.
Al Nassr Predicted Lineup:
Ospina – Al-Oujami, Al-Amri, Gonzalez – Al-Ghanam, Al-Khaibari, Gustavo, Masharipov – Al-Najei, Martinez – Talisca
Starting Lineups
Teams usually release theri starting lineups one hour before the game begins.
Player to Watch: Talisca
The experienced Brazilian forward has been outstanding for Al Nassr this season and he enters the derby against Al Shabab after scoring a brace in the last round against Al Tai.
Given that Cristiano Ronaldo won't play in this game either, Talisca will once again be the top offensive weapon for Al Nassr and that's why we chose him as our player to watch in this match.
