In a mid week match in week 17, on Tue Feb 14th, Al Shabab plays host to Abha in a clash of the Pro League. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 24 degrees, which will be a great treat for players. Al Shabab sits at 2nd place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 4-2 win against Al Batin. Renzo López struck first for Al Batin in the 31st minute on a feed from Abdullah Al Yousif, then Cristian Guanca tied it up for Al Shabab in the 6th minute of the first half’s stoppage time on a feed from Éver Banega But luckily in the 45th minute, they were able to complete the comback with a penalty goal by Cristian Guanca. With 18 points in their last 10 matches Al Shabab should be reasonably happy with their performance, while 8th placed Abha is fresh off their 1-3 loss against Al Raed. Nawaf Alsadi scored the first goal for Abha in the 41st minute, then in the 2nd minute of the first half’s stoppage time, Fouzair sent in a beautiful pass which was converted by Damjan Đoković But luckily in the 88th minute, they were able to complete the comback with a goal by Fouzair. With 18 points in their last 10 matches Abha should be reasonably happy with their performance.
