Analysis and forecast for the Pro League match “Al-Ittihad” – “Al-Nasr” (12/26/2023)
The match of the 17th round of the “Al-Ittihad” – “Al-Nasr” professional league will begin on December 26. The starting whistle will sound at 21:00 Moscow time.

Al-Ittihad unexpectedly lost at home to Al-Raed (1-3) in the last match of the Pro League. The Tigers attacked from the first minutes, they had the ball and the initiative, but the expulsion of Madall Al-Olayan in the 12th minute ruined everything.
The club’s coach, Marcelo Gallardo, was forced to quickly adjust the tactical scheme. His players went deeper into the defense and began to operate in counterattacks. But this decision did not help, since the rival managed to take advantage of the defensive errors that the Tigers frequently made.
It is very likely that the result of the match was influenced by the players’ disappointment in Al-Ittihad’s weak performance in the Club World Cup. In the quarterfinals the team lost to Al Ahly of Egypt (1-3). Benzema failed to convert the penalty and was the subject of a wave of criticism. In the match against Al-Nasr, the Frenchman will have the opportunity to score a goal and respond to his wickedness.
Al Ittihad is in sixth place in the Pro League standings with 28 points. The club won eight games and finished tied in four. It should be noted that the Tigers played eight games at home, winning four and finishing tied. The team scored 18 goals at home.

In the last five Pro League games, Marcelo Gallardo’s team had an inconsistent performance. They defeated Abha (4:2) and Al-Khalij (4:2), drew with Al-Ittifaq (1:1) and lost to Damak (1:3) and Al-Itifak (1:1). (1:3). Thus, four of these matches ended with a total of more than 3.5 goals.
Al-Nasr beat Al-Ittifaq at home (3-1) in the last round of the Saudi Arabian championship. The goals were scored by the stars of the “world club” Alex Telles, Marcelo Brozovic and Cristiano Ronaldo, who converted the penalty. However, the defense made mistakes, allowing the opponent to score.
Al-Nasr has performed well in the last five matches of the Saudi Arabian Championship. Luis Castro’s team defeated Al-Wahda (3-1), Al-Ohdud (3-0), Riad (4-1) and Al-Ittifaq (3-1), but lost to “Al-Hilal” ( 0-3). It should be noted that in each of these matches at least three goals were scored.
The “Knight of Nejd” is in second place in the Pro-League standings with 40 points. The team won 13 games and ended in a draw. Al Nasr’s top scorer, Cristiano Ronaldo, has scored 17 goals and provided nine assists this season. He leads the list of top scorers in the tournament.

The “World Club” has been effective in attack in recent games, taking advantage of many scoring opportunities. Cristiano Ronaldo, who is the leader of the team, is in excellent shape. Al-Hilal’s defense often makes mistakes that lead to lost goals. Let’s consider a bet for a total of over 3.5 goals for 2.09.
Recently, Portugal coach Roberto Martínez said that Ronaldo is obsessed with being the best. He added that no one spends their 20s better than Cristiano. The forward has 51 goals this year, and only Harry Kane has more: 52, but Mbappé has the same number (51). It should be noted that Al-Nasr still has two games left, but Bayern and PSG have an empty schedule.
Predictions and bets for the Saudi Arabian championship match “Al-Ittihad” – “Al-Nasr” on December 26, 2023
Luis Castro’s men remain in the race for the championship title. There are still many matches ahead, so there will definitely be a chance to reduce the gap with Al-Hilal. Ronaldo hasn’t forgotten how to score goals. Al Ittihad’s defense makes mistakes regularly, allowing their opponents to attack freely. However, Karim Benzema can surprise and will be motivated to counter-attack Ronaldo, meaning there will be plenty of goals. So we will bet on a total of more than 3.5 goals for 2.09.
Tender: total more than 3.5 goals in 2.09.
