Al-Nasr First Football Team, which is experiencing an unprecedented crisis of results under its current technical leadership, is trying to rise from its recent stumbles with a victory over its host Al-Ahly, on Friday, in the “El Clásico”, the summit of the 24th round of the Saudi Roshen League.
Al-Nasr missed the opportunity to qualify for the quarter-finals of the AFC Champions League, which Al-Ain snatched from it after two confrontations, which resulted in the “Yellow” losing the first leg during regular time and back on penalties.
Locally, the team, led by Portuguese coach Luis Castro, was unable to win during the past two rounds, drawing 4-4 with Al-Hazm and being defeated 1-3 by Al-Raed.
In turn, Al-Ahly, which collected 7 of the last 9 points in Roshen, is looking to exploit the confusion of its guest, Al-Asmi, and win over them for the first time since December 2020.
Al-Ahly, currently coached by German Matthias Jaisse, has lost three of its last four matches with Al-Nasr, and tied in one.
Their meeting, for the first round, resulted in a victory for the Castro players 4-3.
