What to expect
We expect about 1.8 goals from Al-Salmiyah and 1.1 from Al Nasr, so Al-Salmiyah come out ahead by a clear distance rather than a nose. Put together, that is around 2.8 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.
Our pick: Al-Salmiyah to win. Al-Salmiyah are the stronger side on the numbers (xG 1.8-1.1), and we make them about 52% to win. On this shape, taking them to come out on top looks the cleaner play than chasing a bigger price elsewhere.
We put the chance of that landing at about 52 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.97, which works out at about 51 out of 100. The two sit close together, so this is a lean rather than a standout price.
One thing to watch
Favourites drop points more often than a short price suggests, and one moment can earn Al Nasr a draw or better. We make it about 52% and the price sits right on top of that, so there's little cushion if it turns.
