Al Nassr vs Al Fayha Prediction
Al Nassr appeared set to be bouncing back with four straight wins but lost 2-1 against Al Hilal in the Saudi Super Cup semi-finals. Moreover, they also faced the loss of Cristiano Ronaldo due to suspension, with Anderson Talisca already out for the season.
Al Fayha, meanwhile, have had an inconsistent season and find themselves ninth in the table. They did beat 16th-placed Al Akhdoud comfortably in their last game but will find it tougher against Al Nassr.
