Al Riyadh vs Al Shabab FC Betting Tips - Over 2.5 Goals/BTTS
Al Riyadh and Al Shabab meet on Thursday with both sides looking to build on recent victories in the Saudi League.
The home side broke a six-game winless run over the weekend as they claimed a first victory since March with a much-needed 2:1 win at Al Khaleej. A remarkable recovery from Al Humaidy Al Otaibi's side saw Al Riyadh score twice in injury time to secure a first road win over the year. Al Riyadh had failed to win each of their eight previous away games, picking up just one point in the process.
High-scoring outcomes have been frequent for the home side in recent weeks. Four of their last five games saw BTTS and over 2.5 goals scored, including a 4:2 home reversal against
Al Orubah ten days ago.
The visitors come into this contest with plenty of confidence after an impressive 3:1 win against Al Ahli on Sunday. In an eventful encounter, Abderrazzaq Hamed-Allah scored twice before being sent off as Fatih Terim's side scored a first win in four.
One of the most reliable teams in the goal markets, remarkably, only four of Al Shabab's last 22 matches did not see BTTS and over 2.5 goals scored. On the road, those numbers are particularly consistent. Each of their last ten away fixtures saw both teams score and a minimum of three goals scored.
Given those numbers, I'm confidently putting my faith in a minimum of three goals scored at the Prince Faisal bin Fahd Stadium.
