Al Shabab vs Al Riyadh Prediction
Al Shabab have enjoyed an impressive campaign thus far as they try and challenge for a top four or five finish in the Saudi Pro League. They were most recently beaten 3-2 by Al Ahli at the weekend after going down 2-0 inside the opening 15 minutes of the match. They now face an Al Riyadh side that returned from the winter break by extending their unbeaten run of form to four matches with a 2-2 draw at home to Al Khaleej at the weekend, scoring a 92nd minute equaliser. This is quite an evenly matched affair on paper and both teams scoring looks a good bet.
