Al Wehda vs Al Taawon Prediction

The home team come into this one on the back of a really poor start to the campaign. Al Wehda’s most recent outing saw them suffer a 3-2 loss to Damak and they have now lost three on the bounce. They now face an Al Taawon side that are punching above their weight once again as they come into this one on the back of a slender 1-0 defeat to Al Okhdood a couple of weeks ago to mean they have now suffered just one loss in their last eight matches across all competitions and they are firm favourites for this one.
