Al Khaleej vs Al Taawon Prediction
Al Khaleej most recently suffered a 5-1 defeat to fellow overachievers Al Shabab last weekend. That surprising defeat came on the back of a run in which they had suffered just one defeat in five matches as they sit tucked inside the Saudi Pro League. They now prepare to take on an Al Taawon side that shared a 2-2 draw with Al Wakrah in the first-leg of their AFC Cup Round of 16 tie the other day, meaning they have now managed just one victory in their last nine matches across all competitions. Despite their defeat, siding with Al Khaleej looks the way to go for this one, especially with home advantage.
