Al-Shabab vs. Al-Orobah: Match Prediction
Al-Shabab has been in impressive form at home, and their solid defensive record makes them favorites against a struggling Al-Orobah side. Al-Orobah's defensive frailties have been evident, and they face a tough challenge against a high-scoring Al-Shabab attack. Considering these factors, my prediction: Al-Shabab to win and total under 3.5 goals
