It is time for the first big derby of the year and is expected if it is impressive, since it is between two teams who like to attack and have open accounts from old.
Al Nassr for another year started with ambitions, but the truth is that in the first match against Najran he did not persuade. The four-decade system behind Al Shahlawi and one octave to play as a defensive defeat did not bring the wave of attacks awaiting coach Karen, nor the spectacle the world went to. The players showed that they had not found their positions on the court and the combinations never succeeded.
In spite of the poor image, Al Nassr took the victory thanks to the players' class, since Shahlawi put a goblet far from the area to finish the win with a direct foul at the end of the match. The bad for the guests is that no one understood that the match was not going well, since Shahlawi's goalie and the goal of the newly-acquired Al Soo hid all the subjects under the mat.
On the contrary, Al Ahli continues to be impressive. He started with three in the championship and continued to play the impressive game that some points brings in total football. Coach Vitor Pereira says he has done a great job and the team's progress has continued in recent years.
For Al Nassr, Al Nassr and Al-Gaddi left back, but nothing has happened. Al Ahli will continue to miss the star and scorer of Viktor Simoes, which is a major loss.
Based on the results of the first game, the hosts are expected to dominate the center and create many opportunities. The guests do not seem to be able to take control of the game and will naturally suffer from spasmodic counterattacks. Al Ahli puts many players in the center and all of them are expected to face only a defensive defeat. Surely this will be a big problem for Al Nassr. In the two previous battles in June, Al Ahli gave Al Nassr tripartite. Let's hope the same is done today and we do not have red cards and halves on 90 like yesterday.
