Al Nassr vs Shabab Al-Ahli Predictions and Free Betting Tips from expert tipsters when they go head-to-head in the AFC Champions League Qualifiers on Tuesday, 22 August 2023.
Al Nassr are set to host Shabab Al-Ahli Dubai in their AFC Champions League Qualification encounter at Al-Awwal Park. Al Nassr enters the contest after taking home the Arab Club Champions Cup, but has had a few poor performances in their domestic league since then.
Their opponents, Shabab Al-Ahli, made a solid start to their domestic season following a 3-0 win over Al Wehdat in the previous round of this competition.
This will be marked as the first ever meeting between these two teams.
Both of these clubs are from different leagues and include players of varying levels. Al Nassr remains the frontrunner because of their offensive skills, but their results in the last two matches cannot be overlooked, nor can the performances of Shabab Al-Ahli in recent weeks.
We expect goals in this match. Al Nassr’s attacking unit has largely clicked and scored at a high rate, particularly at home. They were also the best scorers in their domestic competition last season. Furthermore, Shabab Al-Ahli’s last two matches have both ended with more than 2.5 goals.
By the looks of things, a high-scoring affair is expected this time out.
Both teams have been scoring a decent number of goals in recent weeks. The hosts have scored twelve goals in their last seven matches. While the visitors have scored at least two goals in both of their past two matches.
Thus, the chances are quite high for goals to come from either end of the pitch.
Al Nassr remains the favourite due to their home advantage and the level of players they possess, but their poor form in the last two matches, along with the recent form of Shabab Al-Ahli, leads us to focus on the goals betting options, as both teams are seeing lots of goals.
As a result, we will take the over 2.5 goals as our major betting option here, considering all the observations.
Furthermore, both teams scoring options appear to be pretty appealing. Given both clubs’ strong attacking prowess and recent goal participation at both ends of the pitch.
