While Marwook's season has been commendable, there is room to enhance consistency in away matches, where results can sometimes fluctuate. Additionally, further sharpening their finishing in tight games could convert more draws into wins, pushing their league position even higher. Defensive organization during set pieces might also be an area to focus on to reduce the few goals conceded in critical moments.
