Al-Shabab's recent form has been poor, with a record of only one win, five draws, and four losses, placing them 15th in the Saudi Pro League and facing a precarious relegation battle. This situation can lead to fluctuating player morale, especially against stronger opponents. However, their defence has shown some improvement recently with more clean sheets, potentially boosting the home team's confidence. The absence of midfielder V. Xelro and right-back Mohammed Habush, however, impacts their midfield's ability to intercept and overall defensive stability. Al Qadsiah, on the other hand, exhibits more stable performance, with five wins, three draws, and two losses in their last ten matches, positioning them in fifth place with hopes of climbing higher. Their squad is fully fit, which allows for consistent tactical execution. Their ball control and attacking threat have improved, particularly their multiple attacking options, which can exploit opponents with less stamina. Experience and confidence gained during the season are more important than the setback of losses. Data suggests that the away team adapts better to a high-intensity attacking style. The home team faces challenges in terms of physical condition and focus, especially when players are emotionally unstable, potentially leading to critical errors. If the away team controls the pace, the Al-Shabab defence might struggle. The teams are currently in contrasting emotional states: one is actively seeking change, while the other is reacting defensively. Considering overall performance, squad completeness, psychological preparedness, and current form, Al Qadsiah appears more competitive, reflecting a trend in their head-to-head history.
