In a weekend match in week 14, on Sun Jan 22nd, Al Nassr will host Al Ittifaq in a Pro League match. In their last match, Al Nassr recorded a 0-0 scoreless draw against Al Shabab. Al Shabab had 12 on net, and Al Nassr had 6, but no one could beat the goalie, and the game ended in a 0-0 draw,. Al Nassr is on a hot streak lately, having won 7 of their last 10 matches, while in their last match, Al Ittifaq recorded a 0-2 loss against Al Fateh. Majed Kanabah struck first for Al Fateh in the 4th minute on a feed from Sofiane Bendebka, then Marwane Saadane added another in the 59th minute on a penalty shot In the end, Al Ittifaq was frustrated by Al Fateh’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Al Fateh ended the match with the shutout victory. Al Ittifaq is looking for direction having earned 12 points in their last 10 matches.
This will be the first match for these two teams against eachother this season. Last season Al Ittifaq won the head to head battle with 1 win and 1 draw.
Hazzazi and Youssouf Niakate are the top scorers for Al Ittifaq in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats. Al Nassr is glad to have Anderson Talisca in top form. In the last five matches the midfielder has scored six goals.
