Al Riyadh and Al Shabab will face off in the MatchDay 9 of the South African Premier Division.
In this match, Al-Shabab is likely to generate a significant number of scoring opportunities and shots on target. On the other hand, Al-Riyadh may face difficulties in finding success in front of goal, but it’s possible that they will manage to score at least once in the game.
Al-Riyadh fans are hoping for a repeat of their previous result, a 0-1 victory in the Professional League against Abha.
Unfortunately, it has been infrequent for Al-Riyadh to keep a clean sheet recently. They have had defensive issues, conceding goals in 5 of their last 6 matches and allowing a total of 17 goals during that period.

Al-Shabab and their traveling supporters are looking for an improved result in this match after their recent defeat to Al-Hilal in the Professional League.
The statistics indicate that Al-Shabab has been vulnerable defensively, conceding goals in 5 of their last 6 matches, with a total of 11 goals against them. Their defensive performance has been less than solid. However, it’s uncertain whether this trend will persist in this particular match.
The Al-Shabab manager can be relieved as there are no injury concerns to worry about. The squad is fully fit and available for selection in this game.
Last 5 Games: Won: 3, Draw: 0, Lost: 2, Scored: 8, Conceded: 7, Clean Sheets: 1.
