Team News: Al-Taawoun
Out of a mainly available group of players, there’s only the sole fitness problem for the Al-Taawoun manager to be concerned about. Flávio (Knee injury) won’t be in action.

Prediction
We’re thinking that Al-Ahli Saudi can and should stay in control for long periods of time and should be able to convert a few of the chances that they create.
In contrast, Al-Taawoun will not find it easy getting goals but do we see them managing to get on the scoresheet.
We’re therefore expecting to see a fairly comfortable 3-1 win for Al-Ahli Saudi at the end of this one.
