Draw odds: 27/10 (3.75) – 25.8%
Al-Shabab odds: 17/20 (1.85) – 54.2%
Al-Shabab are the expected winners in this Saudi Pro League game, as the visitors on the 28th of October have a staggering 54.2% win probability. Even with the home-field advantage on their side, Abha barely keep together a 20.0% shot at the three points. That’s why we highly advise going with Al-Shabab/Al-Shabab at 37/20 (2.85), despite the bookies’ predicted 35.09% likelihood for our key Abha vs Al-Shabab prediction.
Abha vs Al-Shabab Lineups & Team News
Abha
Last week’s Saudi Pro League game could’ve definitely gone better for Abha. The team suffered a heavy 4-1 defeat at Prince Abdullah Bin Jalawi Stadium, but the result could’ve easily been more convincing, as Al Fateh produced a massive 20 shots at target. This just goes to show you that our Abha vs Al-Shabab predictions are on to something good.
Predicted lineup – Tatarusanu (GK), Naji, Hbeab, Noguera, Qumayzi, Al-Jumayah, Bguir, Al-Sudani, Krychowiak, Matic & Jaber
Al-Shabab
Recording three victories in five Saudi Pro League games is what pulled Al-Shabab away from the relegation zone. We are convinced that our Abha vs Al-Shabab predictions will succeed, as long as coach Igor Biscan relies on the following players for the match against Abha.
Predicted lineup – Kim (GK), Al Yami, Santos, Saiss, Al-Sibyani, Alqahtani, Cueller, Banega, Bahbri, Diallo & Carrasco
Player to Watch: Ever Banega
Ever Banega will make another appearance for the visitors in the Saudi Pro League this week. The 35-year-old veteran is close to the end of his career, but it seems that he still has what it takes to perform on a top-notch level.
The visitors’ captain is a key part of our Abha vs Al-Shabab prediction, as not only is he the leading goalscorer, with two goals bagged already, but he’s also the 2nd-best creator at his manager’s disposal. The only one to provide more assists than Banega is partner-in-crime Carrasco.
