AL SHABAB VS AL RAED PREDICTION
Al Shabab, as mentioned, are a big club in Saudi Arabia and they have started the season well with intentions of crashing the party of the ‘big four’. They have won three and lost one of their opening four matches. They now face an Al Raed side that appear to have steadied themselves but have still managed just one win in their opening four matches. Al Shabab are firm favourites for this one regardless of form but given the form and home advantage, they should come out on top.
