Al-Nasr vs Al-Hazm. Will an outsider create problems for Ronaldo and his partners?
On Thursday, February 29, at the Mrsul Park arena in Riyadh, a match will take place between the teams Al-Nasr and Al-Hazm as part of the 22nd round of the Saudi Arabian League.
Luis Castro's men continue their streak of winning, but not particularly convincing, matches after the winter break. Al-Nasr has not yet lost points in the championship in February, and in the Asian Champions League they confidently passed the first stage of the playoffs , beating another Saudi club, Al-Feiha, on aggregate (1:0 away and 2:0 at home) . But at the same time, we no longer see the former confidence in the results and performance of Ronaldo and company.
If before the break for the Asian Cup Al-Nasr usually crushed their opponents, beating them by at least two goals, then in the last winter month victories were achieved with effort. Al-Fateh was beaten 2:1 thanks to a goal midway through the second half, while Al-Shabab held a 2:2 draw until the 86th minute, when Talisca managed to score the winning goal.
So far, the main scorer of Al-Nasr and the entire championship, Ronaldo, has scored in all matches of the year. But it seems that Cristiano himself would agree to exchange several of his goals for a more reliable line of defense for his team.
Al-Hazm
Uruguayan coach Jose Carreno has not yet been able to change Al-Hazm's game for the better. The fighter for survival periodically flashes glimpses of quality football - for example, the team has learned to maintain the score despite the fact that the game goes according to its scenario for more or less a long time. But as soon as the opponent “catch the wave” and produce a quality segment in the game, the outsider immediately falls apart.
The arrival of Colombian midfielder Junior Moreno from the American club Cincinnati has not helped much yet. Although in the future this midfielder can still say a strong word in the fight for survival.
But first, Al-Hazm must be tested by the still-hoping Al-Nasr and his star-studded squad. And remembering the first round match between these teams, when Ronaldo and company destroyed the opponent on his own field with a score of 5:1, Al-Hazm fans feel uneasy.
Therefore, we will take a risk here and play Al-Hazm with a handicap (+2.5) with odds of 1.85. You can also try a bet on “both will score” for 2.05. It takes place too often in championship matches involving Al-Nasr not to try your luck for such a solid odds.

It would seem, what intrigue could there be in a match between one of the two leaders of the season and the last team in the table, and even on the favorite’s field? But we think that the game for Ronaldo and company may turn out to be a much less cakewalk than many might think. Firstly, because Al-Hazm, for some unknown reason, has learned to resist well in away matches of the season, and secondly, because Al-Nasr will have a difficult duel in the Asian Champions League against Al-Ain from the Emirates just a few days later . And it seems that the Saudi club, subconsciously understanding that they are unlikely to win the league title with Al-Hilal as their competitors, can begin to devote more effort to the continental tournament.Therefore, we will take a risk here and play Al-Hazm with a handicap (+2.5) with odds of 1.85. You can also try a bet on “both will score” for 2.05. It takes place too often in championship matches involving Al-Nasr not to try your luck for such a solid odds.
