Al Raed vs Al Shabab Prediction
The home team begin this weekend’s round of fixtures sitting just outside of the bottom three and the relegation places as they come into this one on the back of a much-needed victory. Al Raed defeated Al Riyadh by three goals to one the other day to end a seven-match losing streak in the Saudi Pro League. They now take on an Al Shabab side that are tucked inside the top-half of the table with the visitors most recently sharing an entertaining 2-2 draw with Al Taawon and their 21 matches so far this season have consisted of 62 goals. Given that entertaining run of form and the hosts’ potential buoyancy following their much-needed win, both teams scoring would appear a good bet for this one.
