Al Hazem v Al Shabab prediction

ALAl HazemWWLL
v
ALAl ShababLDD

What to expect

We expect about 1.2 goals from Al Hazem and 1.7 from Al Shabab, so Al Shabab come out ahead by a nose. Put together, that is around 3.0 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.

Al Hazem come into this on two straight defeats. Al Shabab come into this on two straight draws. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.

Our pick: Both teams to score. Both of these carry enough of a threat to find the net (xG 1.2-1.7), and we make both teams to score about 57%. Expect goals at either end rather than a one-sided shut-out.

We put the chance of that landing at about 57 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.62, which works out at about 62 out of 100. The price is shorter than our own read, so there is less in this than it might look.

What the numbers say
Al Hazem have won two of their last four.
Al Shabab have not won any of their last three.

One thing to watch

A clean sheet at either end undoes it, and one side shutting up shop is always on the cards. The price is shorter than our own read of about 57%, so there's less value here than the number suggests.
