Shabab have now made it two consecutive league wins in a row after their 1-3 victory over Al-Riyadh last week. Al-Shabab dominated that game and created lots of chances, with Camara and Guanca getting their name on the scoresheet. Abderrazak Hamdallah and Yannick Carrasco have been very instrumental for Al-Shabab in the league this season, and they had an amazing season with Al-Shabab.
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-Qadisiyah, given that Al-Qadisiyah 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 17 wins, 6 draws, and 9 losses from the 32 league games they’ve played this season. Abderrazak Hamdallah is the team's current top scorer with 21 goals, followed by Cristian Guenca with 10 goals. Abderrazak Hamdallah 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 will be hoping to finish the season with this sensational form and momentum. It's now two consecutive wins for Shabab in the league. Abderrazak Hamdallah missed out on the fun in their last league victory against Al-Riyadh as he was sent off in their 3-1 win against Al-Ahli two weeks ago after an intense argument. He will be available for Tuesday's clash against Al-Ittihad.
🔖 Al-Shabab Probable starting lineup (4-3-3)
Al-Mayouf – Al-Thani, Leandrinho, Wesley Hoedt, Robert Renan,— Cristian Guanca, Glen Kamara Musab Al-Juwayr – Daniel Podence, Abderrazak Hamdallah, Carrasco

Al-Ittihad are now champions of Saudi Arabia after that 1-3 victory over Al-Raed last Thursday. Al-Ittihad has achieved this feat for the second time in three seasons. The Yellow Tigers can no longer be caught with two games still left to play in the Saudi League, jetting off a campaign in which they dominated for most of the season.
It’s a story of redemption for Al-Ittihad, who suffered the worst title defense last season after finishing 5th in the league last season and even failing to qualify for other continental competitions like the AFC Champions League. However, all that is now in the past as the Tigers are back where they belong: Champions of Saudi Arabia. They came back from a goal down to win the last league game against Al-Raed by a 1-3 scoreline.
Karim Benzema is in the form of his life; he has scored 21 goals for Al-Ittihad already this season and is the team's current top scorer. Al-Ittihad leads the Saudi Pro League with 24 wins, 5 draws, and 3 losses from the 32 league games they’ve played this season. Al-Ittihad have another opportunity to win another silverware this season, where they will play Al-Qadisiyah later this month in the Saudi Cup final.
Al-Ittihad: Possible Lineup
Al-Ittihad: Possible Lineup
Laurent Blanc's integration of a younger player profile was pivotal to their Saudi Championship victory this season. Laurent Blanc moved away from a one-man team centered around Benzema to a more organized and team-focused play. However, the input of Karim Benzema cannot be overemphasized as he still remains the team's top scorer with 21 goals to his credit.
Moussa Diaby is the signing of the Summer for Al-Ittihad with a record of 14 assists to his name, second to Al-Hilal’s Al-Dawsari, who also currently has 14 assists. Its now a race for the highest assist between the two players.
Karim Benzema is currently injured and might not be available for this game, he was also unavailable in their last game against Al-Shabab. Moussa Diaby got a red card in that 2-3 victory over Al-Nassr, but he has now finished serving his ban, and he will be available for Tuesday's encounter. Danilo Pereira is also doubtful.
🔖 Al-Ittihad starting lineup (4-2-3-1)
Al-Mahasneh – Danilo Pereira, Al-Sagour, Al-Amri, Shanqeeti – N’golo Kante, Fabinho – Moussa Diaby, Aouar, Unai Hernandez – Steven Bergeijn
👤 Head coach: Laurent Blanc
