Fixture between Al-Shabab and Al-Ettifaq is shaping up to be one of those affairs where recent results goes out the window. Kicking off
Al-Shabab’s been hot and cold, their showings swinging from inspired to questionable. Meanwhile, Al-Ettifaq’s grinding through a tough stretch, their rearguard looking porous.
Looking at past contests, it’s a mixed bag. Al-Shabab’s enjoyed the advantage lately, but soccer’s got a nonexistent memory.
My two cents: Both outfits’ve got issues. Al-Shabab’s engine room’s sputtering, while Al-Ettifaq’s forwards craves a cutting edge.
When it comes to the Pro League, this fixture carries added significance. The league’s battle for continental qualification means every point counts, and both teams know a statement win here could shift momentum in the table. How they’ve fared lately in the Pro League suggests neither team can afford mistakes, making this encounter even more compelling.
That said, there’s a feeling about this one—who knows, it’s the game where a player delivers.
