Al Shabab welcome Al Taawoun at Al-Shabab Club Stadium, Riyadh today at 6:00 PM in a Saudi Professional League fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.
Al Shabab come into this fixture drawing too many games (4D in last 5). Al Taawoun travel out of form (1W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.
Despite playing at home, Al Shabab face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Al Taawoun have won 5 of 10 encounters, with 3 draws. Their last encounter ended in Al Shabab won 0–2.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Al Shabab a slight edge, but Al Taawoun are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
