AL TAAWON VS AL OKHDOOD PREDICTION

This one, on paper, appears like it could be quite one sided. Al Taawon have been playing extra matches with the AFC Cup, where they hammered Altyn Asyr by four goals to nil in midweek. Al Okhdood are languishing, though, and struggling for any rhythm or consistency with a lack of cohesion and quality. Given that, as well as their home advantage, backing Al Taawon looks the way to go for this one.
