Al-Fateh Favoured Against Al-Shabab in Saudi Pro League Clash

Al-Fateh are the slight favourites in their upcoming Saudi Professional League match against Al-Shabab. Examining recent form, Al-Fateh have shown a mixed bag, with a recent loss to Al-Khaleej but a victory over Al-Fateh. Their recent friendly match results provides some uncertainty. On the other hand, Al-Shabab's form is similarly inconsistent, including losses to Al-Ittihad and draws against Al-Rayyan and Al-Okhdood. Al-Shabab are also dealing with some injuries, which will likely impact their team selection and overall performance. The match odds reflect a tight contest, but the Asian Handicap slightly favours Al-Fateh, indicating they are expected to perform better. Considering both teams' goal-scoring records and recent defensive performances, backing under 2.75 goals seems a solid choice. The presence of injuries for Al-Shabab further supports a lower-scoring affair. Therefore, my prediction is a win for Al-Fateh, with a cautious approach on the total goals scored.
