Al Okhdood vs Al Shabab Prediction

Al Okhdood come into this one on the back of a slender 1-0 defeat to Al Taawon in their most recent outing a couple of weeks ago before the November international break. They now face an Al Shabab side that have returned to punching back above their weight as they begin the weekend’s round of fixtures sitting tucked inside the top four. This one appears to have a clear winner with Al Shabab the firm favourites for this one.
