Al Shabab vs Al Fayha Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

The hosts are in for a fight against Al Fayha in the Saudi Pro League.

Al Shabab are all set to host Al Fayha in their next Saudi Pro League encounter on January 27. The hosts have recorded a total of eight wins in 16 Saudi Pro League matches this season. On the other hand, Al Fayha have only been able to clinch three wins so far. Al Fayha are at the risk of falling into the relegation zone and will be keen on not dropping points.

Al Shabab with a win can come closer to the top four spot in the Saudi Pro League standings which is heavily guarded by Al Nassr, Al Hilal, Al Ittihad and Al Qadisiyah. The home side will have a clear advantage in this game as they have a better record than the visitors in the current Saudi Pro League season. If they secure a win with two or more goals then they will have a chance to get to the number five spot in Saudi Pro League standings.

Al Fayha are close to falling in the relegation zone. They will not be wanting this for themselves. They have only bagged three wins so far and will be low on confidence. This might make things easier for the home team.
