Al-Nassr enter the match in formidable form, having scored seven goals without conceding in their two league fixtures. In addition, Al-Nassr have avoided defeat in eight of the past ten head-to-head meetings with Al-Ettifaq, including four of their last five trips to Al-Ettifaq. While the hosts have also won their opening two games, backing Al-Nassr on the double chance provides strong security against a competitive home side.
