AL KHOLOOD VS AL SHABAB PREDICTION

Al Kholood have struggled throughout this season and begin the weekend’s round of fixtures sitting just outside of the bottom three and the relegation places. However, they have been entertaining to watch with their nine matches so far this season consisting of 29 goals. They now face an Al Shabab side that are pushing towards the continental competition qualification spots with back-to-back wins ahead of this one and they are the firm favourites against Al Kholood.
