Al Hilal-Al Nassr is a match of the fifteenth day of the Saudi Pro League and is played on Friday at 7 pm: TV, streaming, formations, predictions.
The challenge of challenges, the best of the Saudi Pro League. The match between Al Hilal and Al Nassr we don’t say is worth a whole season, but almost. The hosts lead the league with 36 points in the standings; the guests, second, have four less. Clearly, a victory for Milinkovic and co. would already allow them to dream. On the contrary, Ronaldo’s yellow-and-whites after a bad start to the season could reopen the championship.
Neither team has lost in the season, despite the fact that Al Hilal cannot count on Neymar, who got injured in the national team and ended his year early. The Brazilian will perhaps be seen again next year, and the attack is all on the shoulders of Mitrovic, who should return to the starting eleven after a period of stop. On the other hand, there has been little concern about the condition of Ronaldo, who left before the challenge in the Asian Champions League with a neck problem. Nothing so glaring that he could not be on the field on a very important night for his team’s fortunes.
And it is from Ronaldo that it all turns: despite the criticism that almost weekly rains down on him he continues to score. Sensational was the goal with a lob from thirty meters last week that you surely saw in the net. In short, a lot goes by his condition he should not be, as explained worrying. But can Al Nassr really make the external splash? We think otherwise.
The prediction
Al Hilal has the best defense in the league and the best offense. And the home team could be fine with a draw. In a match that at least one goal per team should give it away, a draw is not to be ruled out.
