Al Shabab vs Al Wehda Prediction & Betting Tips (31 October)

Over the course of their most recent ten matches at this level, Al Wehda have secured three draws and suffered seven defeats, so life has been proving tough for the away outfit. Al Shabab may not have been hitting the heights that they did earlier in the season during the last few months, but 11 wins from 16 home games is still a formidable record.

Al Wehda have been in incredible form recently, collecting some points from a possible 27, and it is noticeable that all nine of their matches during this period have served up three goals or fewer. The same is true of each of the most recent nine Al Shabab home games at this level, so it would come as a major surprise were this key battle not to serve up under 3.5 goals.

When Al Wehda come calling, excitement doesn’t tend to follow, with six of their previous seven away games at the top table of the Saudi Professional League seeing at least one of the two goalkeepers emerge with a clean sheet. What’s more, eight of the last nine Al Shabab home matches at this level, including six in a row recently, have followed the same pattern.
