Analysis and forecast for the match of matchday 22 of the Saudi Arabian championship “Al-Nasr” – “Al-Hazm” (02/29/2024)
After a short break, the Pro League season resumed in Saudi Arabia. On February 29, three matches will be played on Matchday 22. In the last of them, Al Nasr will host Al Hazm at the Al Awwal Park stadium in Riyadh. The kick-off is scheduled for 20:00 Moscow time.

Al-Nasr continues to compete in the title race with Al-Hilal. The difference with the “leaders” is seven points. In the last six matches of the Pro League, Luis Castro’s team defeated Riyadh (4-1), Al-Ittifaq (3-1), Al-Ittihad (5-2), Al-Taawoun (4-1) , Al-Fateh (2:1) and Al-Shabab (3:2).
The opponents were mainly teams from the top of the standings. And everything would be fine, but the encounter with Al-Shabab was remembered as a scandalous story. The rival fans managed to anger Al-Nasr’s star striker, Cristiano Ronaldo. They chanted “Messi!” towards the Portuguese.
This has happened before, but then Ronaldo got away with inappropriate behavior. It is reported that this time he will not escape punishment. The club tried to justify the incident by saying that the video was generated by a neural network. However, this argument is not at all convincing.
According to the source, the 38-year-old striker will be disqualified from two matches in the Saudi Arabian Championship and will also pay a fine. In 2023, Ronaldo scored 54 goals, becoming the world’s top scorer of the year. In the current Pro League he participated in 20 games, in which he scored 22 goals and gave nine assists.

Al-Hazm does not have star players like Cristiano Ronaldo. This is due to a banal lack of resources, low popularity and bad history. The Club was founded in 1957, but spent most of its time in the lower divisions of Saudi Arabia.
Al-Hazm finished the penultimate season in last place in the Pro League standings. He managed to return to the elite, but the current championship is also going very poorly for the team. Again it is at the bottom, on line 18.
The difference with Riyadh, which occupies 15th place, is six points. It is unlikely that the Ar-Rass club will be able to avoid relegation. They won only 2 of 21 matches in the Saudi Arabian championship and also drew eight times. During this period, he scored only 21 goals and lost 51; only Abha had more.

In the last eight matches of the Pro League, Al-Hazm defeated Al-Fateh (2-0), and also drew with Riyadh (0-0), Abha (1-1), Al-Ittifaqom (1-1) and Al-Khalichem (1:1). It may seem that the club has gained good momentum, but in meetings with stronger rivals it lost and, as usual, lost a lot.
Ar-Rass’ team lost first to Al-Hilal (0-9) and Al-Ahli (0-4), and then to Al-Feikhe (1-3). You can bet that Al-Nasr will win the next match with a handicap (-2.5) at bookmakers with odds of 1.86. In the last direct confrontation the World Club won 5-1.
In 21 matches in the Saudi Arabian championship, Luis Castro’s team conceded only 26 goals and scored 60. The “world club” has many top-level players who are capable of making a difference, so the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo It shouldn’t affect the result much. .
This opinion is supported by the recent overwhelming victory in the friendly match against Inter Miami (6-0), as well as the team’s performance in the group stage of the AFC Champions League. Without the Portuguese, they beat Al-Duhail away from home (3-2) and tied with Persepolis (0-0).
Prediction and bet for the match of the 22nd round of the Saudi Arabian championship “Al-Nasr” – “Al-Hazm” on February 29, 2024
Of course, if Ronaldo is disqualified, it will weaken Al-Nasr. However, at home, the “World Club”, even without the Portuguese, is capable of confidently defeating one of the main outsiders of the Pro League. Al-Hazm has much fewer reserves and worse results. He misses a lot, especially in meetings with strong opponents.
Tender: Victory for Al-Nasr with a handicap (-2.5) by 1.86.
