📊 Form Guide

Al-Riyadh
DLLDLW
Al-Riyadh fans will want a repeat of their previous result, being a 1-2 Professional League success over Al-Khaleej.
In that game, Al-Riyadh managed 58% possession and 10 shots on goal with 4 of them on target. For Al-Riyadh, the goalscorers were Faiz Selemani (90') and Lucas Kal (90'). Al-Khaleej had 10 shots at goal with 3 of them on target.
It has been a rare occasion in recent times where Al-Riyadh haven’t conceded. It will be a concern for them that Al-Riyadh have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, shipping 10 goals during that time. That trend won’t necessarily be continued into this match, though.
Al-Shabab
WWDDLW
Al-Shabab come into this clash after a 3-1 Professional League win with the downing of Al-Ahli Saudi in their previous fixture.
In that match, Al-Shabab managed 49% possession and 10 shots at goal with 6 of them on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Al-Shabab was Abderrazak Hamed Allah (33', 65'). For their opponents, Al-Ahli Saudi got 15 shots on goal with 5 of them on target. Gabri Veiga (36') was the scorer for Al-Ahli Saudi.

📋 Team News: Al-Riyadh
It’s a low absenteeism rate, with just a single fitness concern for the Al-Riyadh gaffer to be concerned about from an otherwise complete set of players. Enzo Roco (unknown injury) won’t play.
📋 Team News: Al-Shabab
Al-Shabab has a number of players out of action. Hussain Al-Sabiyani (Cruciate ligament tear), Fahad Al-Muwallad (unknown injury) and Seung-gyu Kim (Cruciate ligament tear) miss out here.
⚡ Prediction
When taking all factors into account, Al-Riyadh should be able to breach the defence of this Al-Shabab side, but one goal likely won’t be enough to prevent defeat.
Our selection here is for a close game with a 1-2 winning margin for Al-Shabab after 90 minutes. Let’s see what eventuates.
