Al Shabab and Al Taawoun meet in a similarly frustrating situation. Neither has won in the league in five matches, and both closed their last outing with a low-scoring draw. Al Shabab drew 0-0, while Al Taawoun had just returned from Asian competition with a 1-1 scoreline. Al Shabab opened the season mostly with draws, but their defence concedes more than it should, especially late in games when they often ship goals. Al Taawoun have clearer problems, having scored only three goals in seven matches and just been thrashed in the league. Their long-stale attack means this away trip will have to focus on defending and waiting for their moment. This game should start cautiously from both sides, especially in the first half, where Al Shabab often look blunt at home, while Al Taawoun tend to start slower and wait to counter. If the first half ends goalless, the second half should open up more and produce chances.
