Al-Shabab: form and statistics

Shabab have now gone seven games without a defeat with three consecutive league wins in their last three league games. Al-Shabab is gunning for a top-three finish but that might be impossible due to the high point margin between Shabab and third placed Al-Nassr, given that Al-Nassr is also in superb form. However, it’s a great feat for manager Faith Terim and the boys and they’ll hope to extend this unbeaten run on Thursday when they take on Al-Okhdoud. Shabab is 6th placed in the league with 15 wins, 4 draws, and 8 losses from the 27 league games they’ve played this season. Abderrazak Hamdallah is the team's current top scorer with 19 goals to the good. He has found the net in Al-Shabab’s last four league games.
