Al-Nassr v Damac Prediction, Tips and Bet Builder

Al-Nassr hold a two-point advantage at the top of the Saudi Pro League going into their final game of the season and they should be confident they can complete the job when they face Damac on Thursday.

Cristiano Ronaldo and his colleagues have lost four more games than unbeaten rivals Al-Hilal, but they are in the box set and face a team who need points to ensure they are not relegated.

Damac boosted their standing with a 3-0 win over Al-Fayha last week, but this looks a much tougher proposition and they may have to rely on results going their way elsewhere.

Al-Nassr v Damac Tips Summary

Best Bet - Al-Nassr to win to nil @ 5/6
Alternative Bet - Joao Felix to score two or more goals @ 7/2
Bet Builder - Over two Al-Nassr goals, Over six Al-Nassr corners & Jonathan Okita to have two or more shots @ 5/1

Al-Nassr v Damac Prediction

Best Bet: Al-Nassr to win to nil @ 5/6

Al-Nassr were stung by a late equaliser against Saudi Pro League title rivals Al-Hilal last time out by an own goal, but their home defensive resolve has been one of the key elements of their success in the second half of the season.

That was only the second occasion in their last nine home games that their defence has been breached and they should keep a clean sheet against Damac, who have netted just 13 goals in their 16 away league matches this term.

The only time they have scored more than once on the road in the campaign was a 3-1 win at bottom-of-the-table Al-Najma and while they need to get something to ensure their survival, they may not make their mark against the leaders.

Alternative Bet: Joao Felix to score two or more goals @ 7/2

Ronaldo claims most of the attention in any match in which he features, but, while he has scored 26 goals in Al-Nassr's Saudi Pro League title bid this season, he has scored just three times in his last six outings.

So there could be better value in backing his Portuguese colleague Joao Felix to have a greater impact as the leaders aim to secure the title.

He has scored 20 goals this season and, while he was not on target against Al-Hilal last time out, he did score a hat-trick against Al-Shobab in their previous outing with two of those goals coming in the opening ten minutes.

Having had 113 shots in his 32 appearances, he could net more than once in the final match of the campaign.

Al-Nassr v Damac Bet Builder Tip

• Over two Al-Nassr goals

• Over six Al-Nassr corners

• Jonathan Okita to have two or more shots

  Pays @ 5/1

Al-Nassr have scored at least twice in 11 of their 16 home league games this season and, with the title within touching distance, they are unlikely to hold back, so it is realistic to expect the home team to net more than twice.

They should also be backed to take plenty of corners, having forced more than seven in three of their last five home Saudi Pro League assignments.

Al-Nassr averages 6.9 flag-kicks per league match this season and there is a strong chance they will earn more than six in Thursday’s clash.

Visitors Damac may not possess a huge goal threat, but one player who can make his presence felt is their DR Congo forward Jonathan Okita.

He has had 16 shots in eight league starts for the strugglers this season, including four in Friday’s 3-0 win over Al-Fayha, so he should be relied upon to have more than one pop at goal in the big clash.
