Al-Nassr vs FC Goa Prediction

The most-recent Al-Nassr vs FC Goa clash was a pretty entertaining battle in which the Indian Super League side took the fight to the Saudi giants and pushed them to the limit. Al-Nassr might've gone easy on FC Goa and taken them lightly in the recent encounter, but they're unlikely to repeat that mistake this time around. Jorge Jesus will urge his players to be compact and ruthless in their approach, which involves being quicker and more clinical with their final product. FC Goa will need to rely on their defensive structure to salvage them a result, but Al-Nassr's sheer quality in attack could make it too hot to handle for them. Even without Ronaldo, this should be a clincal win for Al-Nassr.

Predicted Score: Al-Nassr 3-1 FC Goa
