Al-Jahra SC vs Al-Shabab SC Prediction: Both teams are facing difficulties in the league

As the 16th round of the Kuwait Premier League approaches, all attention turns to the upcoming showdown at Al-Jahra Stadium, where Al-Jahra SC will host Al-Shabab SC. Al-Jahra has endured a tough season so far, still in search of their first league victory and currently positioned at the bottom of the league table, grappling with successive defeats. Meanwhile, Al-Shabab, despite a strong start to the season, has also seen a decline in form recently. With both teams experiencing challenges, the outcome of the game remains uncertain. To heighten your anticipation for this upcoming fixture, we have carefully curated some tips for your consideration.

Form: LLLLL

Al-Jahra is currently entrenched at the bottom of the league table, facing considerable challenges in the ongoing season. Enduring a difficult journey, the team is grappling with a winless streak extending over their last 15 matches. In their recent league encounter against Al-Arabi SC, Al-Jahra suffered a significant 6-0 defeat, further highlighting their ongoing struggles. With thirteen losses and two draws from the 15 games played, Al-Jahra seems poised to encounter another formidable challenge in the upcoming game.

Form: LWLLL

Al-Shabab, who began the season in impressive form, has experienced a dip in performance lately, securing only one victory in their last seven league games. Their recent match against Al-Salmiyah resulted in a narrow 1-0 defeat, adding to their challenges. As they gear up to face Al-Jahra on Friday, they must demonstrate their capabilities. Their overall league statistics for the season include four victories, two draws, and nine losses from a total of 15 league games played.

A critical look at the last 7 games between them produced 4 victories for Al-Shabab and 3 victories for Al-Jahra. 

Both teams are currently struggling with poor performances in the league. Given Al-Jahra's tumultuous season, it's challenging to envision them avoiding another defeat on Friday, even though Shabab isn’t in the best of form. Therefore, we can rely on a win or draw for Shabab, as they appear to be slightly stronger than Al-Jahra, who is yet to secure a league victory this season.

Additionally, betting on both teams to score seems like a sensible option. Furthermore, we anticipate a high-scoring encounter, so placing a bet on over 2.5 total goals at odds of 1.61 appears promising.
