Al-Taawoun will look to bounce back to winning ways when they travel to face Al-Shabab in the Saudi Pro League at Al-Shabab Club Stadium on Saturday, with kickoff slated for 18:00 GMT.
Key Highlights
Al-Shabab have been in inconsistent form in the Saudi Pro League; they have been unable to win back-to-back matches in their last five outings, during which they have won twice, drawn once, and lost twice.
Al-Shabab are winless in their last two matches in the Saudi Pro League, drawing once and losing once; they will look to bounce back to winning ways when they host Al-Taawoun on Saturday.
Al-Taawoun are winless in their last five matches in the Saudi Pro League; they have had three consecutive draws and back-to-back defeats. This poor run of results has seen Al-Taawoun slip out of the title race.
They have won seven times, drawn four times, and lost three matches on their way to 25 points and 5th place on the table. They are 13 points off the pace, and they need to start winning matches soon if they are to prevent a further gap opening from title-challenging places.

Al-Shabab will have the home advantage in this match. They will win and end their two-match winless run in the Saudi Pro League.
