Al Tai vs Al Nassr: Preview
When Al-Nassr travels to Prince Abdul Aziz bin Musa’ed Stadium to take on Al Tai on Friday night in the Saudi Pro League, they will be seeking to continue their excellent winning streak.
The visitors enter this match having won the King’s Cup with ease, whereas Al Tai exited that exact competition last time at the first hurdle.
After losing 2-0 away at Al-Faisaly in the King’s Cup round of 32 on Friday night, Al Tai’s winless streak in all competitions grew to three games on Tuesday.
Although Kresimir Rezic’s team managed to tie the score at the break, goals from Paul Arnold Garita and Joy-Lance Mickels in the second session caused the Hail-based team to lose the cup.
Al Tai have won just one of their last six league games, so they are far from being title contenders after a 1-0 victory against Damac in their season opener.
At the start of the season, Rezic’s team has seven points from as many games, placing them in 12th place in the Pro League standings, eight points behind Friday’s opponents.
Al-Nassr defeated Ohod 5-1 away from home in their King’s Cup match, which was played one day before Al Tai. Sadio Mane and company put on an outstanding performance.
On Monday night in Jeddah, the ex-Bayern Munich player opened the scoring before goals from the likes of Seko Fofana and Anderson Talisca for the visitors.
As the team in form in Saudi Arabia’s premier division, Luis Castro’s team now has an eight-match winning streak across the Pro League, AFC Champions League, and King’s Cup.
Cristiano Ronaldo has scored the most goals for Al-Nassr so far this season, scoring a brace in the 4-2 victory over Al Ahli last Friday.
Team News
Al Tai is anticipated to make just minor adjustments to the team that lost a seven-goal thriller against Al-Ettifaq in their previous Pro League match, but playmaker Bernard Mensah is certain to keep his spot after scoring a hat-trick.
Despite losing to Steven Gerrard’s team last weekend, Alfa Semedo was a force in the backfield for Rezic’s team. The 26-year-old is expected to start alongside Tariq Mohammed in the home team’s midfield on Friday night.
Al-Nassr must deal with some injury concerns ahead of their away game. Center-back Abdullah Madu is questionable for the game owing to a muscular problem, despite having resumed first-team practice.
In six Pro League outings so far this season, Sultan Al Ghanam has contributed to four goals, but the right-back is presently out with an injury from earlier this week’s collision.
Al Tai possible starting lineup:
Braga; Alnakhkli, Bauer, Al-Sulaiman, Qasim; Mohammed, Semedo, Cordea, Mensah, Misidjan; Dugandzic
Al-Nassr possible starting lineup:
Alaqidi; Amri, Lajami, Laporte, Telles; Alkhaibari, Brozovic, Talisca, Otavio, Mane; Ronaldo
Al Tai vs Al Nassr: Prediction
Although Al Tae has not had a great start to the season, a recent slump in performance has home fans concerned about what Ronaldo and Mane might accomplish on Friday night.
Al-Nassr has scored nine goals in each of its last two games, so we anticipate Castro’s team to once again have their shooting boots on to take the victory.
