Musab Al Juwayr made sure of the result in the 10th minute of injury time.
Al Raed, meanwhile, share the spoils in a 2-2 draw at home to Al Ettifaq. Karim El Berkaoui put them ahead in the 10th minute, while Moussa Dembele drew the game level in the 71st minute. Haroune Camara stepped off the bench to give the visitors the lead in the second minute of injury time but Mathias Normann drew the game level deep into injury time.
The draw left them in 13th spot, having garnered 31 points from 29 games. Al Shabab are ninth with 38 points to their name.

Al Shabab vs Al Raed Prediction
Al Shabab do not have much left to play for in the season. They are currently on a four-game unbeaten run (three wins) and will be keen to keep this run going.
Al Raed, for their part, are not entirely safe from relegation concerns as they have just a five-point buffer over the bottom three. They won the reverse fixture on home turf and will be aiming to win consecutive head-to-head games for the first time since 2020.
Games involving these two sides tend to be high-scoring and this trend could continue in a narrow win for the hosts.
