Al-Nasr
- There is a stark contrast in form between these sides heading into this Abu Dhabi matchup, as Al Jazira are on a red-hot four-game winning streak, while Al-Nasr have been unconvincing, winning two, drawing one, and losing two of their five matches.
- Al-Nasr have a different problem as coach Milos Milojevic has them locked into a very compact, pragmatic shape where they defend well and look to score in transition when they can.
- Al-Nasr have lost their last two, falling 2-1 to Al Ain in the away game and 2-1 at home to the same Ajman side that Al Jazira beat 3-0.
Head-to-Head
The head-to-head record between these two sides is tied at two wins, one draw, and two losses apiece in the UAE Pro League era.
Key Players
- Malcom is a key component in that and brings a flair and bite to the attacks, while the pace and power of Al Jazira can make it very tough for sides to counter.
- Chris Bedia has been on a hot streak for them with three goals in five, but they have only managed seven goals in total in that span so it is nearly half of their total output in that period.
Betting Insights
- Al Jazira are the odds-on favorites to win at 1.72, with Al-Nasr at 4.05 and the draw at 4.0.
- Al-Jazira's slick possession play and wide rotations should open up gaps and chances in the second half for Nasr to pounce, and over 2.5 goals at 1.57 and Both Teams to Score - Yes at 1.67 are great value on this one.
