The
Pro League match on April 17, 2025, features
Al-Shabab taking on
Al Akhdoud. It's a critical time as teams vie for position in the league.
Al-Shabab, currently high on confidence, seeks to maintain their momentum, while
Al Akhdoud aims to solidify their mid-table standing. This match could influence their end-of-season standings significantly.
Key Players to Watch
Al-Shabab's lineup brims with quality. Fawaz Al Qarni, their reliable goalkeeper, has been crucial in keeping opponents at bay. Yannick Carrasco, known for his dynamic wing play, brings creativity and flair to the attack. Cristian Guanca, a midfield maestro, orchestrates plays with precision. Upfront, Abderazak Hamed-Allah, renowned for finding the back of the net, is a real threat to any defense. Notably absent from their squad are Mohammed Essa Hurbush and Glen Kamara, both nursing injuries.
On the other side,
Al Akhdoud's squad boasts talent like Paulo Vitor, a solid presence in defense. Knowledge Musona, with his knack for scoring timely goals, adds potency to their forward line. Petros, in midfield, acts as a linchpin, connecting defense and attack seamlessly. Ibrahima Kone, another key asset, is known for his physical play and aerial prowess. Missing in action, though, are Awadh Al Faraj and Saeed Alyami, sidelined due to injuries.
