NOBARTV NEWS Al Nassr vs Damac – Al-Nassr will host Damac at King Saud University Stadium for the Saudi Pro League Gameweek 12 match on Friday, November 29, 2024. Kick-off is scheduled for 21.40:XNUMX WIB.
Fresh from a crucial win in the AFC Champions League, Al-Nassr will be looking to return to winning ways in domestic competition after a disappointing run of results. On the other hand, in-form Damac will be looking to secure their third consecutive win of the season.
Al-Nassr
Al-Nassr are fresh from a 3-1 win over Al Gharafa in the AFC Champions League, which has given the team a huge morale boost. Cristiano Ronaldo was in scintillating form, scoring twice, while Angelo also added a goal. Despite their success in Asia, Al-Nassr have struggled domestically, winning just one of their last four games in the Saudi Pro League. Stefano Pioli’s side are currently third on 22 points from 11 games, level with Al Shabab and Al Qadsiah, but eight points behind leaders Al Ittihad.
Despite their positive results in the AFC Champions League, Al-Nassr have struggled to maintain consistency in the domestic league. This is reflected in Ronaldo's poor form, who has only scored one goal in the last four league games. In this match, Al-Nassr will look to return to winning ways and improve their position in the league standings.
Damac
Damac come into the game with high confidence after two consecutive wins. They beat Al Wehda 2-1 away and then won 2-1 against Al Kholood despite playing with 10 men after Ramzi Sawlan was sent off. These two wins are important capital for Damac in facing a tougher match against Al-Nassr. Damac currently sits in 11th place with 14 points, equal on points with Al Raed who are in XNUMXth place.
Damac will also be looking to maintain their positive momentum, but they will have to face a stronger and more experienced team like Al-Nassr. The head-to-head statistics of both teams also show Al-Nassr's dominance, who have won their last six meetings. However, Damac will be looking to get their third consecutive win and improve their position in the standings.
Al Nassr vs. Damac: Team News & Predicted Lineups
Al-Nassr have a very strong squad, with world-class players such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Sadio Mane and Otavio up front. Ronaldo, who recently scored two goals in the AFC Champions League, will be the main threat to Damac's defense. In addition, Al-Nassr also have strength in midfield with Brozovic and Alkhaibari ready to control the game. However, the team must overcome Ronaldo's dip in form in the domestic league, where he has only scored one goal in the last four games.
Meanwhile, Damac will struggle without Ramzi Sawlan who was sent off in the last match. Losing Sawlan will be a big loss for Damac, but Hazzaa Al-Ghamdi will replace him in the front line. In addition, Damac still have to struggle without two of their key midfielders, Adam Maher and Nicolae Stanciu, who are injured. However, they still have a threat up front, especially from Georges-Kevin N'Koudou, who has been in brilliant form with eight goals in the last eight matches.
Lineup Prediction
Al-Nassr (4-3-3): Krepski; Al Ghanam, Simakan, Al Fatil, Al-Boushail; Alkhaibari, Brozovic; Angelo, Otavio, Mane; Ronaldo
Damac (4-3-3): Al-Bukhari; S Mohamed, Chafai, Bedrane, Al-Enezi; T Mohamed, Fallatah, Kamano; Al-Ghamdi, Diallo, N'Koudou
Al Nassr vs. Damac Score Prediction
Although Damac have shown some improvement in recent weeks, they will face a much tougher opponent in Al-Nassr's home. With the full support of the stadium and their success in the AFC Champions League, Al-Nassr are expected to overcome Damac by a scoreline 3 - 1.
Cristiano Ronaldo and his colleagues will try hard to get three full points and maintain their chances to compete at the top of the league. Meanwhile, Damac, although it has the potential to make a surprise, must overcome many obstacles, including the absence of key players and a much stronger opponent.
With Al-Nassr's dominant performance in their last meeting and high morale after their win in Asia, the home team is expected to dominate this match. However, Damac will still try to put up a tough fight and get a positive result to improve their position in the standings.
