In the ongoing Saudi Pro League 2024-25, Al Shabab will play against Al Ittihad. Ittihad are the title contenders and another win will help them claim the title in advance with a week to go at the conclusion of the tournament. They have 77 points to their name and are on the top of the table with two games left.
Their competitor, Al Hilal have 71 points and can finish at 77 points with two games left. If Hilal manages to finish with 77 points and Ittihad lose both their matches, Hilal will win the tournament due to better goal difference. Ittihad has a goal difference of plus 42 while Hilal has a GD of plus 52. Hilal would hope that Shabab beats Ittihad.
Not to forget, finishing in the top-two is important for the teams in this tournament. Apparently, Al Ahli, which is another Pro League team, won the AFC Champions League Elite 2024-25. This is why only two Saudi spots are left for the AFC 2025-26 tournament. If Ittihad manages to win against Shabab, they will not only win the tournament but also qualify for AFC 2025-26.
Talking about Shabab, they have no chance left to either win the Pro League or qualify for the AFC. They are placed 6th and are likely to finish at the same even if they win this match.
As far as the relegations are concerned, teams that finish in the last three spots (16th, 17th, and 18th) will be relegated and will be replaced by the top three teams of Division One. Every team gets to play 34 games every season of the tournament.
