Today Soccer Prediction Friday 21st February 2025

AL Nassr vs AL Ettifaq, Saudi Arabia – Saudi Pro League, King Saud University Stadium, 18:00

Aiming to keep their perfect streak in the Saudi Pro League, Al-Nassr hosts Al Ettifaq for round 21 on Friday evening.

The Knights of Najd have emerged victorious in their last five matches, putting them third in the standings with 44 points from 20 games.

Al-Nassr heads into Friday’s match in excellent form, with their last league points dropped on January 17 during a 1-1 draw against Al-Taawoun.

Since then, Stefano Pioli’s men have dispatched Al Khaleej, Al Fateh, Al Raed, and Al Fayha before securing a thrilling 3-2 victory on their trip to Al-Ahli, extending their unbeaten run in the top flight to seven matches.

That result leaves Al-Nassr four points adrift of second-placed Al-Hilal, level on points with fourth-placed Al Quadisiya, and still eight behind Al-Ittihad, who sit at the summit.

While Al Ettifaq’s home form has been concerning — with just six points from 10 games, the worst record in the division — they have fared significantly better on the road, collecting 19 points from a possible 30 to rank as the fifth-best travellers.

Given their current form and recent dominance in this fixture, Al-Nassr heads into this clash as clear favorites. Though Al Ettifaq has proven resilient on their travels, suffering just one defeat in 10 top-flight outings, the hosts’ attacking prowess should eventually break through their stubborn defence, even if it takes a hard-fought effort.
