There's been ups and downs for these two teams so far this season, occupying positions near the middle of the Pro League table so far. Here's the Al Shabab - Al Taawon latest:
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Al Taawon have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1300 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Al Shabab form and stats
6 victories, 2 draws and 4 defeats. That’s what Al Shabab have to build on here at Prince Turki bin Abdul Aziz Stadium in the Pro League. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Shabab after consecutive victories at their own ground.
Al Shabab are returning here after visiting Al Wahda in a Pro League game and winning with a 3-0 scoreline. M. Diop (2) and Sebá scored the goal(s).
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Al Shabab as they are travelling to their away game against Al Feiha in the Pro League. That match is four days after this one.
Shabab have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Prince Turki bin Abdul Aziz Stadium with 20 goals in 12 league matches. Al Shabab have conceded 15 in these home matches.
Al Taawon form and stats
There's been little loot from Al Taawon's travels as they have only collected 9 points from 12 away games in the Pro League. Al Taawon only have 2 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 3 draws.
