Al Nasr form and stats

With 3 Professional League wins, 4 draws and 6 defeats from their home games, Al Nasr are certainly not brimming with confidence. The Nasr manager Gačanin might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.

The Al Nasr crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 1-2 to Bahla here at The Salalah Youth Complex.

A defeat was the result before that one, 0-3 away at Al Seeb.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Nasr matches with similar probabilities have ended with 3 wins, 3 draws and 0 defeats (from 6 games).

It should be taken into account that a look at the 13 most recent league fixtures shows that 10 of them qualified as a both teams not to score result (only one or none of the sides scored a goal).

Al Nasr have scored {10 league goals} here from 13 matches, not a lot. From these home matches, Nasr have conceded only 12 goals.
