Al Riyadh vs Al Shabab Prediction & Tips
Al-Riyadh go into this match on a patchy run, with just one win in their last five matches. Interestingly, that run was broken in their most recent outing, where they visited Al-Khaleej and, despite conceding a goal in the sixth minute, managed a heroic comeback to win 2-1, scoring both goals in stoppage time.
Undoubtedly, such a characterful win should give the team confidence ahead of hosting Al-Shabab. However, defence remains the weak point, as evidenced by 34 goals scored and 45 conceded. At home, Al-Riyadh have not been able to impose their law, with 5 wins, 5 draws and 5 defeats.
Al-Shabab, on the other hand, have been more solid of late, with two wins, two draws and one defeat in their last five matches. Al-Shabab are currently sixth in the table, nine points off the top three.
Last time out, Al-Shabab delighted their fans with a convincing 3-1 win at home. They are also a reliable away side, with six wins and five defeats away from home. Their attacking power (58 goals scored), coupled with a solid defence, make Al-Shabab the favourites for this match.
