Al Shabab vs Al Najma Preview & Prediction

Click here for today’s sports betting tips from our expert analysts!

Al Shabab started this season woefully but have stuck by manager Imanol Alguacil as they now take on an Al Najma side that may well be proving they are out of their depth.

Kick-off date/time:

How to watch on TV: UK – DAZN have the rights to show three Saudi Pro League games per week in the UK, so it is worth checking their schedule / US – Some Saudi Pro League matches will be televised on Fox in the US, so it is worth checking their schedule

How to watch online: UK – If DAZN are televising this match, it can be streamed live to subscribers on DAZN’s digital platforms / US – If televised, this match can be streamed on Fox’s digital platforms, while Fubo subscribers can also stream certain Saudi Pro League matches live

Al Shabab vs Al Najma prediction

In the summer, Al Shabab completed the appointment of former Real Sociedad boss Imanol Alguacil. The hosts have majorly underperformed thus far and again succumbed to a frustrating 3-2 loss to Al Nassr at the Al Awwal Park in Riyadh.

Following their promotion to the top-flight last season, Al Najma have struggled as they sit rock-bottom in the Saudi Pro League table. The visitors have collected just three points without a win in their 15 matches so far this season.

Al Shabab may or may not have turned a corner but, with their home advantage, the inconsistent hosts have to be viewed as firm favourites for this one this weekend.
