Comparative Team Statistics: Al-Ittihad FC vs Al Shabab

Head-to-head history leans towards the hosts

Al-Ittihad have won the majority of the recent meetings between these two, including four of the last six, several of them on home soil.

Al Shabab have shown they can win away from home too, doing so in a King's Cup tie back in 2021 and again in the league in 2024, so it hasn't been one-way traffic.

Table shows a big early gap

Seven league games in, Al-Ittihad sit second with 17 points from five wins and two draws, and they haven't lost yet this season.

Al Shabab are down in 14th with just four points, having won none of their seven, drawn four and lost three.

That's a wide points gap for this stage of the season.
