In this week 14 match on the 27th of December, Al Shabab will host Al Taawon in a clash of these two extremely mismatched Pro League teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 14 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. Al Shabab sits at 2nd place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 3-0 shutout win against Al Raed. Al-Harbi struck first for Al Shabab in the 19th minute, then Éver Banega added another in the 55th minute In the end, Al Raed couldn’t muster any offence and Al Shabab ran away with the shutout win. Al Shabab looks to continue their winning ways, having won 7 of their last 10, while in their last match, Al Taawon recorded a 1-1 draw against Al Feiha. Henrique Luvannor struck first for Al Taawon in the 81st minute on a feed from Sandro Manoel Dos Santos, then Al Khaibari tied it up for Al Feiha in the 5th minute of the second half’s stoppage time on a feed from Sultan Madash earning Al Feiha a comeback draw. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 10 points in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out. Last season Al Taawon won the head to head battle with 2 wins.
Tawamba Kana has been the most prolific scorer on Al Taawon in his last 5 matches with three goals. Odion Ighalo has been the most prolific scorer on Al Shabab in his last 5 matches with three goals.
