Al Qadsiah vs Al Shabab prediction 14.04.2026 | Saudi Professional League

The 2025/26 season is the second in a row in which Al Qadsiah are among the best Saudi Arabian teams, but it seems that they will again remain short of the AFC Champions League. With six rounds left, Al Qadsiah are five points behind the desired third position. Brendan Rodgers' team lost only once in the last 19 matches. In the previous outing, Al Qadsiah drew 1-1 away to Damac. The guests ended with xG of 1.42, while the hosts had only 0.27, but still Al Qadsiah couldn't break the opponent.

Al Qadsiah's head coach, Brendan Rodgers, was disappointed after a draw in the previous league round. He said, "This result makes us angry, especially since we were ahead, but Damac took advantage of the available spaces and scored the equalizer. In general, we are angry about the missed opportunities despite having three strikers on the field during the last 20 minutes. The players gave their all, and we hope to win the upcoming matches and forget about today's game."

Al Shabab expected more from the 2025/26 season. They are only seven points ahead of the relegation zone, but a few more good results could secure another year in the Saudi top flight for the team from Riyadh. Al Shabab played well recently, with only one defeat in the last seven matches across all competitions. In the previous game, they played 1-1 on the road against Al Riyadh. The guests were better throughout the game, but their inefficiency cost them two points.

After an unexpected draw against Al Riyadh, Al Shabab's head coach, Nourredine Zekri, said that his team could score five goals. He added. "The draw is unfair statistically. We wanted to get the three points, and we were ahead by a goal. The penalty from which Al-Riyadh scored the equalizer was harsh and caused the players to become nervous, and we almost lost the match."
