Game Prediction
Parallel to the UEFA Champions League, the knockout round of games began for its Asian counterpart. However, here the return matches take place immediately, and on Wednesday, Al-Nassr will host Al-Fayha. Who will achieve a result here? A prediction for this match on February 21, 2024, is available for the website's readers.
Al-Nassr is currently not having as good a season as everyone expected.
"The Knights of Nejd" became widely known a year ago when Ronaldo joined them. But actually, they are an ambitious project, nine-time champions of the country, winning a wide range of national and regional cups but remained "silent" in 2019. Moreover, even with Cristiano, they also finished second, trailing Al-Ittihad by 5 points. Before the new cycle, they recruited newcomers and brought in Luis Castro as the coach - and as a result, they are seriously lagging behind the current leader, Al-Hilal. There is hope to at least shine in the Champions League. In the group stage, the Saudis performed well: 4 wins and a couple of draws. In the first knockout match, they managed to win 1-0 away thanks to a late goal from the Portuguese legend.
Al-Fayha is rated lower than their compatriots.
The "Orange" team returned from the First Division only in 2021. But they immediately managed to reach trophies, winning both the cup and the Saudi Arabian Super Cup. It was this success that allowed the team, which finished only eleventh in the Pro League 2022/2023, to make their debut in the Asian Champions League. There, under the guidance of Vuk Rasovic, among whom Stojkovic, Onyekuru, and, with a caveat, Sakala, Sabiri, and Tsimikas stand out, they won three times and lost three times, eventually advancing from the group in second place. However, a long series of defeats in the country's championship almost pushed them towards the relegation zone.
