NextGOAL tip: Al Shahaniya +0.5 · 1 stars
Al Shahaniya have met Al-Arabi SC several times in recent times, and the results have gone the same way almost every match. The last time they met, in April, Al Shahaniya lost 0-2, and the defeats have continued over several matches. This time both sides go into the game with their league positions not far apart, with Al Shahaniya sitting 7th on 7 points, while Al-Arabi SC are 4th on 9 points. Al Shahaniya have just won 1-0 in their latest league match, after a mix of defeats and draws before that. Their attack is still not sharp, but they managed to grind out a win with few goals conceded. Al-Arabi SC, meanwhile, are unbeaten in 1 match and have not lost in the league at all in 5 matches. Their defence is tighter, having conceded only 5 goals, but they have drawn as many as 3 matches, which shows that winning is harder for them than their form suggests. This game is likely to see Al-Arabi SC as the side that has to open up and attack, because they hold the ball more and create chances more consistently, while Al Shahaniya will probably sit back and wait for the counter, especially in the second half, when they concede more than half of all the goals they let in. If they can keep the score intact until late on, the game has a chance of finishing with the teams not far apart.
