Form in the League: WLDLL
Al-Riyadh continues to face inconsistencies in the league this season as they’ve only managed to secure a win from their last five league games. They’ve been plagued with three defeats, a draw, and a loss in their last 5 league games. Al-Riyadh might not have entirely escaped relegation, as anything can happen at this point, especially with their very poor form. But they seem to be 90% away from the relegation zone, and the outcome of this round will determine how badly they need to play in their remaining games, but Riyadh seems to have escaped relegation in my books.
Riyadh put up a phenomenal performance in their last league game against Al-Khaleej. Khaleej scored very early in the 6th minute of the game, and their intention was to hold the game off, but a 10-minute moment of brilliance from Al-Riyadh changed the course of that game. Selemani found the net in the 93rd minute, and Lucas Kal doubled their lead in the last minute of the game and gave them the all-important win.
Al-Riyadh must keep up this momentum. Riyadh is currently 9th placed in the league with 10 wins, 8 draws, and 13 losses from the 31 league games played this season.
Al-Riyadh: Possible Lineup
Al-Riyadh: Possible Lineup
Sabri Lamouchi is not still moving away from the usual 4-5-1 formation with Haji leading the attack and other attackers spread evenly on the flanks and center. Riyadh needs to do better, and Lamouchi needs to deploy a more energetic approach if he doesn’t want to land his team in the tier 2 next season.
🔖 Al-Riyadh starting lineup (4-5-1)
Milan Borjan– Al-Khalibari, Barbet,Tambakti, Ali-Alnwaiqi – Ibrahim Bayesh, Kal, Toze, Selemani, Shehri – Haji

Al-Shabab: form and statistics
Shabab finally bounced back to winning ways after that sad 3-1 defeat to Fateh two weeks ago, which ended their 9-game unbeaten run. Shabab bounced back in style last week as they defeated the crowned Champions of Asia, Al-Ahli, in a sensational 3-1 performance. Shabab put up a fine performance in that game, with Abderrazak Hamdallah adding two more goals to his tally this season. I’d also love to mention that Yannick Carrasco had an amazing performance in that game with two assists to his name; he continues to remain a mastermind in Fatih Terim’s attack.
Hitherto, Al-Shabab was gunning for a top-three finish, but that might be impossible now due to the high point margin between Al-Shabab and third-placed Al-Nassr, given that Al-Nassr is also in superb form and they cannot possibly lose all the remaining games left in the league.
Shabab is 6th placed in the league with 16 wins, 6 draws, and 9 losses from the 31 league games they’ve played this season. Abderrazak Hamdallah is the team's current top scorer with 21 goals. He is level on goals with Al-Ittihad’s Karim Benzema and 2 goals behind the current Saudi top scorer, Cristiano Ronaldo.
Al-Shabab: Possible Lineup
Fatih Terim made some changes to his tactics and spoke some sense into his players because they utilized more of their chances in their last game against Fateh as against the previous game.
Abderrazak Hamdallah will not be available for this game as he was sent off in their 3-1 win over Al-Ahli last week after an intense argument. Daniel Podence will be back for this game.
🔖 Al-Shabab Probable starting lineup (4-3-3)
Al-Mayouf – Al-Thani, Leandrinho, Wesley Hoedt, Robert Renan,— Cristian Guanca, Glen Kamara Musab Al-Juwayr – Bonaventura, Al-Dubais, Carrasco
👤 Head coach: Fatih Terim

Al-Riyadh FC vs Al-Shabab FC match prediction 15 May 2025
Al-Shabab put up a great show in their last league game, and we can expect a similar performance from them on Thursday, although they’ll be playing this game without their star player Abderrazak Hamdallah. Al-Riyadh, on the other hand, has most likely already escaped relegation, but they’ll love to make sure of it with a win or a draw in this game. A win will be very hard because they’ve not won a game against Shabab in their last 6 meetings, and Shabab is also in great form.
Our match prediction: is a total of over 4.5 corners for Shabab for a coefficient of 1.60 in the 1xBet bookmaker.
Our betting tip on the match: is a 2HT TO 1.5 goals for a coefficient of 1.86 in the Betway bookmaker.
Lastly: A Shabab win for 1.74 odds in the Bet365 bookmaker.
