Al Ettifaq, managed by Saad Al Shehri, has a mixed record in their last five matches, with two wins and three losses. Their offensive output of 35 goals contrasts with 42 conceded, indicating defensive concerns. Despite a strong home record of six wins, four draws, and two defeats, the team’s recent setbacks may affect their performance. Al Shehri’s tactics focus on possession and attacking play, but the defensive lapses have raised questions about the backline’s reliability. Al Shabab, under manager Noureddine Zekri, has struggled with consistency, earning six wins, seven draws, and 11 defeats. Their 30 goals scored and 38 conceded reflect a lack of defensive stability, particularly in away matches. Zekri’s strategy emphasizes quick counterattacks, but this approach has been undermined by frequent defensive errors.#al_ettifaq #al_shabab #saad_al_shehri #noureddine_zekri #al_ettifaq_club_stadium
