Form Guide
Al Shabab
LDDLD
Al-Shabab began this campaign in fine form, avoiding defeat in five of their opening six encounters. Their form since then has taken a rather unwanted turn, failing to secure a win since late September. The hosts' last victory came in the previous round of this tourney when they took a 3-2 victory over Abha, with skipper Yannick Ferreira-Carrasco getting on the scoresheet twice. Al-Shabab are without a win in five straight games, suffering defeat in two of those encounters and playing out the same 1-1 stalemate across the remainder.
Al Zulfi
WWWLL
Al-Zulfi have suffered back-to-back defeats coming into this encounter and those results have put behind the fine performances with which the side commanded a very impressive winning streak. Al-Zulfi took successive victories over Al-Jubail (2-0) and Al-Fayha (1-0) earlier in this tourney at home. Then proceeded to secure a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Al-Batin on the road to continue that run. The side have however failed to build on those results, suffering a 2-nil defeat at home against Abha before the international break. Their latest encounter ended in a 2-1 defeat against Al-Bukiryah in the league.
Prediction
Al-Shabab will be insistent on returning to winning ways by securing a victory in this encounter.
