Al Taawon vs Al Shabab prediction
Al Taawon come into this one on the back of a slender 1-0 defeat to defending champions Al Ittihad to kick off 2026 last weekend. They have been much-improved on last season, though, and begin the match day sitting third in the Saudi Pro League table.
They now face an Al Shabab side that have continued to stick by former Real Sociedad boss Imanol Alguacil, despite the fact they are hovering just outside of the bottom three and the relegation places. They most recently suffered a 2-0 loss away to Al Fateh.
Al Shabab can often be quite an entertaining watch and they will fancy their chances in what could be quite an open affair whereby both teams scoring would appear a good bet.
