Al Qadisiya vs Al Nassr prediction 18.04.2025 | Saudi Professional League

• Competition: Saudi Professional League
• Date: Friday, 18th April, 2025
• Kickoff: 19:00 UK / 20:00 CEST
• Venue: Prince Saud bin Jalawi Stadium (Dammam)

Al Qadisiya secured promotion last year by winning the Saudi First division. While they added some really interesting players, no one really believed they would have such a strong returning season. The popular Knights of the East spent most of their season in the top three spots. However, after winning just once in six league games, they dropped to 5th place, and the desired third spot is five points away. But besides their excellent season in the league, they did a fantastic job in the Cup, reaching the Finals, where they will face Al Ittihad. So, if they fail to secure a top-three finish, Al Qadisiya could secure continental competition through the Cup.

Al Nassr's new era began with the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo in January 2023. Unfortunately, they failed to win any significant trophies under him, winning only the Arab Club Champions Cup. This year, they were eliminated from the Cup and are eight points away from the top spot in the domestic league. So, it seems they will once again fail to win the title. However, they could save the season with a title in the AFC Champions League, where they will play against Yokohama F. Marinos in the Quarter Finals.

Al Qadisiya vs Al Nassr pick: Both teams to score

Al Qadisiya's results have declined recently, winning only once in the last five games. However, they only failed to score once during that poor mini-stretch. They are generally a team that scores regularly and have done so in 13 of the last 14 games - 93%. At home, they have been pretty efficient, scoring 23 goals in 15 matches - 1.53 per game. So, we feel confident they will score against Al Nassr, which haven't had a clean sheet in the last five matches.

Meanwhile, Al Nassr are in excellent form, winning four in a row and scoring 11 goals during that stretch - 2.75 per game. Considering their talent upfront with Sadio Mane, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Jhon Duran, we are not surprised by their offensive performances, and we firmly believe they are more than capable of scoring against anyone in the league.

In the first h2h game, Al Qadisiya won 2:1. Considering all the above, we believe that both teams to score bet is the safest option for this Saudi Professional League tie.
