Al-Shabab are currently struggling in the relegation battle, sitting just two points above the drop zone. They've suffered three consecutive losses, with their attack failing to score during this period. They concede over two goals per game on average, making them the league's weakest attack. The absence of key central defender Khaled due to injury has exposed defensive vulnerabilities. Furthermore, the suspension of key midfielder Salim weakens their midfield's ability to intercept, disrupting the link between their attack and defense. Al-Shabab primarily use a 4-4-2 formation, relying on wing play. Omar, with four goals, is their main scoring threat. However, they have conceded seven goals in their last three home games, indicating pressure-handling issues. Al Qadsiah have just appointed a new manager, Rogers, who will be leading his first match. They are eager to secure a positive result away from home to consolidate their mid-table position. Their recent form has been inconsistent, with three wins, four draws, and three losses in their last ten matches. While their offense and defense are balanced, their stability is lacking. The new manager has switched to a four-defender formation and favors a 4-5-1 formation, focusing on midfield dominance and rapid counter-attacks. Set-piece goals account for 30% of their scoring. However, the absence of their key forward weakens their finishing ability. They have only one away win this season in seven away games, suggesting a lack of defensive focus.
