Al Taawon vs Al Wehda Prediction
Al Taawon come into this one on the back of that aforementioned heartache in the semi-finals of the AFC Cup. Leading by a goal to nil on aggregate against Sharjah, they eventually succumbed to two goals deep into second-half stoppage-time to see them eliminated. They now face an Al Wehda side that are firmly tucked inside the bottom three and the relegation places with just six victories in their 27 matches so far this season, now three points adrift of safety. They have, though, managed three wins in their last four matches as they appear to be climbing and Al Taawon may well feel the emotional and physical affects of their midweek defeat so siding with Al Wehda may well be a good value bet for this one.
