Prediction Al-Nassr vs Al-Ittihad in Saudi Pro League (07.05.2025)

An exciting clash awaits in the Saudi Pro League as Al-Nassr hosts Al-Ittihad on Thursday, May 8, 2025, at 00:00 WIB. This match is crucial as it’s potentially Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates’ last chance to keep their faint title hopes alive this season. Let’s dive into the latest updates from both teams ahead of this crucial game!

Current Condition of Al-Nassr

Since Cristiano Ronaldo joined the team, Al-Nassr has not yet secured any trophies. Their ambition to win the AFC Champions League was recently crushed after a 2-3 defeat against Kawasaki Frontale in the semifinals. Domestically, their position worsened following a loss to Al-Qadisiyah, causing them to drop to third place, eight points behind current league leaders, Al-Ittihad.

Current Condition of Al-Ittihad

Karim Benzema’s Al-Ittihad finds itself in a comfortable position at the top of the Saudi Pro League standings. Known as “The Tigers,” they’re currently six points clear of second-placed Al-Hilal and eight points ahead of Al-Nassr. However, the intense schedule could complicate matters for them, as two days after this fixture, Al-Ittihad faces Al-Qadisiyah in the King’s Cup final. Consequently, they might prioritize their upcoming critical cup match.
