Al-Wehda vs. Al-Shabab: Match Prediction
Al-Wehda has shown resilience at home, but they face a formidable opponent in Al-Shabab, who have been dominant on the road. Al-Shabab's attacking prowess is likely to test Al-Wehda's defense, but the hosts have proven difficult to break down in recent matches.
Considering the current form of both teams, this match is expected to be closely contested. My prediction: Total under 2.5 goals
