Al Riyadh host Al Shabab at Prince Faisal bin Fahd Stadium, Riyadh on Thursday, Feb 18 at 9:00 PM in the Saudi Professional League.
Al Riyadh come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 2D 1L). Al Shabab travel out of form (0W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.
Despite playing at home, Al Riyadh face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Al Shabab have won 5 of 8 encounters, with 3 draws. Their last encounter ended in a 3–3 draw. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.8 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Al Riyadh a slight edge, but Al Shabab are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
