What started from one game and eventually became an incredible journey met its untimely end last week. Shabab finally lost a league game after 9 solid games unbeaten. I can't entirely pinpoint what is more painful to Fatih Terim and his boys right now, whether because they lost to a Fateh team fighting to escape the dangers of relegation, or because they were rather unlucky in that game, because the statistics showed they had a great game, but statistics don’t win games. They eventually lost by a 3-1 scoreline. The unbeaten run was beautiful while it lasted, and it's now time to move on. However, Shabab faces another daunting task on Sunday: they go up against the newly crowned champion of Asia, Al-Ahli, and it will take more than just a miracle to ease past the newly crowned champion of Asia. 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-Ahli, given that Al-Ahli 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 15 wins, 6 draws, and 9 losses from the 30 league games they’ve played this season. Abderrazak Hamdallah is the team's current top scorer with 19 goals. He is level on goals with Al-Ittihad’s Karim Benzema and 4 goals behind the current Saudi top scorer, Cristiano Ronaldo.
Al-Shabab: Possible Lineup
Fatih Terim will have to deal with the bigger issue facing his team, which is utilizing their big chances created in the game, and this is especially for the Strikers. They have created plenty of scoring chances in their last two games, but failed to convert many of them, and this is by far what led to their storming defeat against Fateh last week. Terim might also employ a more defensive approach here with an eye for counterattack courtesy of his amazing forwards. Abderrazak Hamdallah will be leading the attack for Sunday’s game alongside Carrasco. Daniel Podence was sent off in their last game against Fateh after receiving two yellow cards in the game, he will miss Sunday’s encounter.
🔖 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, Abderrazak Hamdallah, Carrasco
👤 Head coach: Fatih Terim

Al-Ahli: form and statistics
After losing previously in two AFC Champions League finals, Al-Ahli are finally Champions of Asia for the first time after defeating Kawasaki in the finals. It’s all celebrations in the Al-Ahli camp as they celebrate their 2-0 victory in the finals. All the investments and players from Europe finally paid off for the Saudi Arabian team. Roberto Firmino won the player of the tournament, and the team’s success also earned them qualification for the 2025 FIFA Intercontinental Cup and the expanded 2029 FIFA Club World Cup
In the league, Al-Ahli continues to maintain a positive look with four consecutive league victories in their last four league games and an unbeaten record in their last 5 league games. One would expect them to falter in their last league game against Taawoun since they were still celebrating their AFC Champions League success, but they took the game head-on and secured an important victory with Ivan Toney and Sulaiman finding the net.
As we all know, Al-Ahli’s strength remains in their offensive lineup of Riyad Mahrez, Firmino, and Ivan Toney, it’s hard to face this attacking trio and keep a clean sheet. They are currently 4th placed in the league with 18 wins, 4 draws, and 7 losses from the 29 games.

The players are fully rested now, and he will integrate them back into the squad will most likely give a few of the players a rest and rotate his squad as they’ve had an amazing run playing two different competitions.
