        Score Prediction<\/h3>\n

        Al Fateh 1-3 Al-Nassr<\/strong><\/p>\n

        Al-Nassr\u2019s attack (51 goals this season) and Ronaldo\u2019s return should overwhelm a struggling Al Fateh side. Expect goals from Ronaldo, F\u00e9lix, and Mane. Al Fateh may grab a consolation from set-pieces or a Vargas counter.<\/p>\n

        Alternative Scorelines<\/strong>: 0-3 (if Ronaldo runs riot) or 1-2 (tight affair).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
