LiontipsAl-Shabab vs Al-Wehda. Saudi Arabian Championship Match Prediction and Bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Al-Shabab is traditionally considered one of the strongest clubs in Saudi Arabia, despite the fact that there are very few superstars on the team. The team most prestigious player is Belgian winger Yannick Carrasco, who has only contributed to one goal this season and missed the last two matches altogether. Without their main star, the hosts easily beat Al-Oruba (3:0) and Al-Riyadh (2:0), and before that they suffered defeats from Al-Nasr (1:2) and Damak (0:1). In the Premier League standings, the club occupies fourth place and is only three points behind third-placed Al-Nasr. It is worth noting that the hosts' attacking play is not particularly impressive so far - only nine goals in eight matches, which is two times less than their competitors.

2.40Tip and bets
In this match, we will give preference to the hosts. The team has shown a good game at the start of the season and is trying to fight for getting into the top 3. The opponent is clearly lower level and is unlikely to be able to compete with Al-Shabab. In the last two rounds, the hosts have won confidently, we think that this time there will be no problems with collecting three points.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-1) on Al-Shabab for 1.75
Bet on total
The hosts have been betting on defense this season and rarely have productive matches. It is unlikely that the favorite will change their style of play in this match, so you should not expect more than two goals in this match. We suggest betting on the total under.
Bet - total under 2.5 goals. This option is offered with odds of 1.95
Bet on corners
We have already mentioned that we do not expect the teams to play actively in attack, and therefore there will not be many corners. We recommend betting on the total under for this indicator as well.
Bet - total under 9.5 corners. This option is offered to play for 1.80
