Al Shabab vs Al Ittihad: Saudi Pro League Live Stream, Form Guide, Head to Head, Schedule, Fixture and Probable Lineups
In the 12th gameweek of the Saudi Pro League, Al Shabab will face Al Ittihad at the King Fahd International Stadium on Friday evening. Al Shabab currently sits in 11th place in the league, having accumulated 12 points from 11 matches. Meanwhile, Al Ittihad is in sixth place with 21 points from the same number of matches. Both teams are in search of a positive result in this encounter.
Al Shabab’s current form is a far cry from their fourth-place finish in the previous season, as they find themselves closer to the relegation zone than the top five in the league. They recently suffered a 2-1 defeat to Abha, marking their fifth loss in 11 games, along with three wins and three draws. After initially struggling in the season, they replaced Marcel Keizer with Igor Biscan as the manager, resulting in two wins in his first three games. However, Biscan must address their poor away record, with only one win in six road matches, while drawing one and losing four.
Al Ittihad, the defending champions, began the season strongly with four consecutive wins and clean sheets. However, they’ve recently encountered difficulties, failing to win any of their last four league matches, with one loss and three draws, including a 2-2 draw at home against Al Hazm. In their recent games this month, they only secured victories in cup competitions, defeating Al Quwa Al Jawiya 1-0 in the AFC Champions League and Al Fayha 3-0 in the King’s Cup. Despite some challenges, their defense has performed well, conceding just nine goals, the second-best record in the league. In their last meeting, Nadi Al-Sha’ab won 2-1 and has been unbeaten in their last three encounters against Al Ittihad, outscoring them 5-2.
