Al Nassr vs Persepolis Prediction & Betting Tips (27 November)

Al-Nassr and Persepolis meet this Monday, at 6pm, at Al-Awwal Park, in Riyadh, in a match on the fifth round of the group stage of the Asian Champions League. The Saudi team, which is coached by Portuguese coach Luís Castro and has Portuguese internationals Cristiano Ronaldo and Otávio in its squad, is the isolated leader of this group E, with a total of four victories and consequent 12 points. Persepolis is second, with seven points, five more than Istiqlol, from Tajikistan, and six more than bottom team Al-Duhail, from Qatar.

In the first round, in Tehran, in front of almost 80 thousand spectators, Al-Nassr won 0-2, with an own goal from Esmaeilifar and a goal from Qasem, both in the second half. If they win this Monday's duel, Al-Nassr, who have eight victories in the last ten matches, will immediately guarantee qualification for the next stage of the competition.

Over the course of their previous 14 matches in the AFC Champions League second-tier, Persepolis have been involved in a staggering 12 encounters in which at least one of the two goalkeepers has kept a clean sheet. Even more amazingly, perhaps, Al Nassr boast exactly the same record, so it would come as a major surprise were both teams to find the net in this clash.
