Ever Banega\u2019s Al Shabab have been presented with a glorious opportunity to make the 2020\/21 Saudi Professional League\u2019s summit in match-week six.
\nThe inspirational Argentina maestro was absent on Monday in the enlivening 2-2 draw at Al Ahli Jeddah which kept the capital side second. A gap created by these dropped points, however, can be temporarily bridged this weekend with leaders Al Hilal engaged Saturday in King\u2019s Cup final action with Al Nassr and Shabab set to host bottom-placed Damac.
\nAhli and Al Raed are in position to pounce if any shock slip-up is recorded. The former mentioned face the exacting visit of unbeaten Al Faisaly, while the latter will need to curtail a buoyant Al Ain still celebrating their first-ever top-flight triumph.
\nEgypt warrior Ahmed Hegazy\u2019s Al Ittihad must start turning draws into wins when they meet promoted Al Qadsiyah, confidence-drained Al Wehda need a boost versus another new boy in Al Batin and Al Taawoun meet an Ettifaq side traumatised by their preceding 4-0 rout by on-song Al Fateh.
\nA protracted round will witness Hilal and Nassr play catch-up on Thursday with games against Fateh and Abha, respectively.
