Chai! My people, wetin I go call dis match wey dey come between Al Kholood and Al Shabab? E be like say na ‘Survival of the Fittest’ because both clubs no dey enjoy for league table!
As dem prepare for dis clash, Al Shabab sabi say dem need victory to secure shame no dey catch dem, after all, dem dey sit for 13th position with only 19 points. While Al Kholood, dey lag behind dem for 14th, with just 15 points. No be say dem no fit deliver, but e be like say dem dey struggle wey no be small!
Al Kholood don record five wins, no draw, but 13 serious losses wey don put dem for wahala. If you look their recent matches, e be like say dem still dey find their feet; dem fit manage one win, one draw, but three serious losses for their last five matches. Wetin dem coach, Des Buckingham dey plan no sabi work well, abi na wetin dey happen?
On the other hand, Al Shabab dey shine small small! Dem don catch two wins recently, plus two draws, and only one defeat for their last five matches. Their last match no be joke, dem carry 1-0 win against Al Fayha, e fit give dem ginger to face Al Kholood for their own ground.
To make matter worse, Al Shabab no dey shine well for away matches, only one win from ten matches. But you no fit write them off, as dem sabi score correct goals, plus dem dey use speed for attack.
History dey show say when these two teams meet, Al Shabab dey chop dem well! Al Kholood don only manage one win, while Al Shabab don take three victories, wey be say their last encounter, Al Kholood shock everybody with 2-1 win. But na who sabi wetin go happen this time?
As dem dey prepare for match, dem go need to step up their game! Betting tip? If I dey bet, I go put my money on Al Shabab to win, dem get the form, plus their coach dey try to make dem dey attack pass.
So my guys, as e dey hot, just gather for Al Hazm Club Stadium on February 7, 2026. Make we see who go carry the day! Will Naija bets take shine here, or dem go just collapse under pressure?
