Al Shabab host Al Fateh at the Al Shabab FC Stadium on Monday (May 27) in their final Saudi Pro League clash of the season. Having lost their previous three games, the White Lions will look to pull the curtains down on a winning note.
After going five league games without a loss, the Riyadh outfit were soaring towards the top-five but appeared to lose steam thereafter. Following a run of three consecutive defeats, Vítor Pereira's side dropped to ninth in the table with 41 points from 33 games.
Meanwhile, Al Fateh have accrued four points more than Al Shabab and are two places above them in the standings. Following a run of four league games without a win, the Sons of the Palm beat Al Hazem 2-1 on Thursday for their 12th win of the league campaign.
