Al Naser vs Al Arabi tips and predictions

Al Naser price cannot be ignored in Premier League clash

The total expected goals with the sportsbooks is a bigger number than usual so this could be entertaining even if that doesn't mean there's value in the prices.

This is one of those matches where there is no argument that the away team is clearly superior. Even if they end up scoring eight times, there is no sense to taking the short odds.

The hosts are coming into the match having made sure of 7 home wins from their last 16.

Al Naser should expect extended periods of play without possession. While ultimately probably not enough to change the outcome of the match, the hosts have posted some good numbers. This home squad is making the most of a recent purple patch and they can be a problem. They scored at least once in 16 of their recent 20 matches while they've conceded no more than once in 13 of their last 20 home games.

There have been passages of play when Al Arabi haven't had a strong foundation at the back. They have conceded at least once in 4 of their last 5 matches. But their problems don't seem to be only in their defensive line. The visitors haven't been able to depend on their forwards lately. They've scored one or less goals in 6 of their last 8 matches.

Al Arabi will be keen to further justify their short price with a clean sheet at full-time. It's not a strong view so maybe best to give it a miss but the No BTTS bet is the only option in that market that has any signs of value.
