Al Nassr vs Esteghlal prediction 10.03.2025 | AFC Champions League

• Competition: AFC Champions League
• Date: 10th March 2025
• Kick-off: 18:00 UTC / 19:00 CET
• Venue: Al -Awwal Park

Al Nassr will be looking to put an end to their recent poor run of form when they host Esteghlal on Monday for the second leg of the AFC Champions League round of 16.

The hosts have found several ways not to win in recent weeks and Friday was no different. Ronaldo and Co came from a goal down to win the first half of their league clash with Al Shabab 2-1 on Friday, but Mohammed Al-Fatil's red card in the second half proved to be the difference. Pioli's men eventually drew 2:2 - a result that extended their winless run to three games.

Esteghlal, meanwhile, have been hard to beat in recent months. The visitors have lost just one of their last nine matches and kept six clean sheets in the process. One of those clean sheets came in the first leg on Monday. However, goalkeeper Hossein Hosseini was called upon to make six saves and Ronaldo was absent for that game.

Al Nassr FC vs Esteghlal Betting Tips: Over 2.5 goals

Each of Al Nassr's last two matches in the AFC Champions League ended in a goalless draw, but the Global One are always different at home. They scored 16 goals in their last five home matches in the competition and as many games ending with three or more goals.

Al Nassr have also been in scintillating form at home in recent times, with Ronaldo and Co scoring 2+ goals in each of their last six outings. With more than two goals scored in each of those encounters, Monday's game should be entertaining.

• Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals
