Al Nassr vs Al Ittihad Preview and Team News
Al Nassr Team News
Al Nassr have been in good form recently, winning three out of their last five competitive outings. With Cristiano Ronaldo operating up front, the team are expected to pose several challenges to the Al Ittihad defense.
Luckily, Al Nassr have no serious injuries on their side. In their previous game, a 4-0 win over Rio Ave in a friendly, the Riyadh club held 68% possession and took a total of 18 shots, nine of which were on target. They also created five big chances and completed passes at a 92% success rate.
One of the standout aspects of that performance was their use of long balls. They hit them with 69% accuracy, which proved key in their building play from the back. Al Nassr also took help from their midfielders with balls hoisted high in the air and crosses executed with pinpoint precision.
Al Nassr predicted lineup vs Al Ittihad (4-4-1-1): Krepski; Ahmed, Al Amri, Simakan, Al Boushali; Mane, Gabriel, Brozovic, Wesley; Felix; Ronaldo.
Al Ittihad Team News
Al Ittihad, just like their opponents, have no major absentees due to injuries. They, too, have won three out of their last five matches, although their last two outings ended in disappointing defeats. Their most recent encounter, a 2-4 loss to English club Fulham in a friendly, saw French attacker Karim Benzema score two goals in the second half.
Ittihad are known for their ultra-aggressive tactics in the final third, a key factor behind their Saudi Pro League title triumph in 2024-25. The Tigers usually play in a 4-2-3-1 formation that emphasizes width in the wings and allows their fullbacks to bomb forward when there’s enough cover at the back.
Midfielders N’Golo Kante and Al Nashri are recognized for their precise passing, particularly into the attacking third, and are expected to play a vital role in creating chances for their side in the upcoming game as well.
Steven Bergwijn’s presence on the wings is bound to add speed and guile to the Ittihad offensive unit and give them some much-needed depth in attack, helping relieve pressure on Benzema.
Al Ittihad predicted lineup vs Al Nassr (4-2-3-1): Al-Shanqiti; Al-Mousa, Danilo, Borrell, Mitaj; Kante, Al Nashri; Diaby, Aouar, Bergwijn; Benzema.
Al Nassr vs Al Ittihad Prediction
- Pick: Al Nassr to win
- Odds: -125 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: Al Nassr 3-1 Al Ittihad
Al Nassr have an advantage over their opponents thanks to their superior attacking force, led by Ronaldo himself. We expect them to win this game and proceed to the Super Cup final. Having scored a hat-trick in their previous encounter against Rio Ave, Ronaldo looks in prime form, and we anticipate him to continue rolling back the years in this outing as well.
Nassr’s 4-4-1-1 formation makes them very hard to break down, as the Jeddah giants are bound to find out at their own expense. Moreover, to assist Ronaldo, they also have the likes of Sadio Mane, Joao Felix, and Wesley in their ranks. Ittihad’s defenders have to be extremely sharp on the break to ensure that the Riyadh club don’t get to complete passes well and find Ronaldo at the edge of the box.
Al Nassr vs Al Ittihad Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Both teams to score
- Odds: -250 (20Bet)
With Ronaldo, Mane, Felix, and Wesley operating for Nassr and Benzema, Diaby and Bergwijn plying their trade for Ittihad, it’s hard to expect anything but goals at both ends. The defenders on each side will have to be on the vanguard throughout this encounter, with their marking skills being tested at all times.
For Nassr, a zonal marking system works best, and that is what coach Jorge Jesus will likely be keen on implementing. If they retain their structure at the back throughout the 90 minutes, Ittihad will find it extremely difficult to break them down and play through the lines. For the Jeddah team, however, man-marking might offer greater rewards, and manager Laurent Blanc will no doubt push his players to sharpen that tactic ahead of kickoff.
