Al Shabab have had a mixed run lately, with a couple of draws and a loss in their recent games, so they are not in great form. Al-Ittihad have also been up and down, winning one but losing a few, which means both teams are struggling to find consistency. When these two have met in recent years, the matches often had plenty of goals, with several games finishing with three or more goals total.

Looking at all of this, the match looks quite close, but Al-Ittihad seem slightly better placed to come out on top given their recent results edge over Al Shabab in head-to-head meetings. Still, with both teams showing inconsistent form and their recent games tending to be open and high-scoring, a draw is also a very possible outcome.
