Al-Taawoun
WWLWDL
Al-Taawoun will be hoping to bounce back here following a 0-2 Professional League losing effort in their last game against Al-Wahda.
In that match, Al-Taawoun had 66% possession and 13 shots at goal with 2 of them on target. Al-Wehda had 9 attempts at goal with 3 of them on target.
Al-Taawoun have hit the target 8 times in their past half-dozen outings. The corresponding tally of goals that have been scored against them in that same time is 6.
Al-Raed
DLLLLW
Al-Raed will come into the game following on from a 0-4 Professional League win with the eclipse of Al-Orobah in their last match.
In that match, Al-Raed managed 42% possession and 14 attempts on goal with 8 of them on target. For Al-Raed, the goalscorers were Mehdi Abeid (49') and Amir Sayoud (54'). Al-Orobah got 12 attempts at goal with 8 on target.
The stats don’t lie, and Al-Raed have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, with opponents netting 11 goals in all. In defence, Al-Raed have some weaknesses to address. That sort of trend isn’t assured to be carried forward here, however.

ℹ️
Team News: Al-Taawoun
There is just the lone fitness concern for the Al-Taawoun boss to contend with due to a largely intact squad. Flávio (Knee injury) is out of contention.
🗞️
Team News: Al-Raed
Out of a mainly available squad, there is only a single fitness issue for the Al-Raed manager to contend with. Mohammed Fouzair (Cruciate ligament tear) misses out for this game.
🧠
Prediction
We envisage that Al-Raed will manage to score against this Al-Taawoun team, although that possibly won’t be as many as the goals that they could concede.
We think that it’s going to be a close game with a 2-1 winning score for Al-Taawoun at the end of this one. Hopefully this is a good one.
