Al-Shabab vs Al-Ittihad prediction and betting tips on May 20 2025
Game Prediction
In the 33rd round of the Saudi Arabian Professional League on May 20, 2025, Al-Shabab and Al-Ittihad will face off. The champion has already solved all its tasks, and Fatih Terim's team might try to take advantage of this.
Our prediction for the Al-Shabab vs Al-Ittihad match
The team from "Al-Shabab Club Stadium" earned 44 points last season. As a result, they overtook Al-Fayha based on additional criteria, finishing in eighth place. The visitors from Jeddah couldn't retain their title, which they had reclaimed in 2023, falling as low as eighth place.
However, under Laurent Blanc's guidance, the club is now simply out of reach for any competitors. Their winning streak continued with a 3-1 victory on Al-Raed's pitch. The cup final is still ahead, too. The home team, even after changing their head coach and inviting Fatih Terim, is still showing rather modest results, clearly maintaining sixth place. This is despite victories over Al-Ahli and Al-Riyadh.
Ferreyra Carrasco and his teammates are scoring an average of 1.91 goals per round. They concede a third less in response—1.19. The division leader manages to score an average of 2.34 goals per match but also concedes more than one per game.
