AL TAAWON TEAM NEWS: REST AND ROTATION

Al Taawon played against Al Quwa Al Jazira in the AFC Cup group stages in midweek and a congested fixtures schedule, combined with the natural heat of the middle east, could mean they make some changes this weekend. Flavio is out suspended due to a red card last week.

PREDICTED XI (4-2-3-1): Maylson; Al Jumayah, Girotto, Al Mufarrij, Al Nasser; Al Mahdioui; Mandash, Bahbri, Fajr, Barrow; Pereira dos Santos

UNAVAILABLE: Al Suhail (Suspended), Flavio (Suspended)

AL FATEH TEAM NEWS: FULLY FIT

Al Fateh are blessed with a fully fit and available squad for this weekend’s trip to face Al Taawon but they will be forced into one change as right-back Nooh Al Mousa is suspended due to a red card last week.

PREDICTED XI (4-2-3-1): Szapponos; Al Zarie, Denayer, Saadane, Al Kunaydiri; Bendebka, Al Zaid; Sbai, Zelarayan, Al Othman; Djaniny

UNAVAILABLE: Al Mousa (Suspended)

AL TAAWON VS AL FATEH PREDICTION

This one is a tough one to call because Al Taawon have been a little underwhelming in their opening five matches and do have the added distraction of continental football at the moment in their calendar. However, they should still come out on top in this one against an Al Fateh side that have suffered four defeats in five matches. Al Taawon, especially with their home advantage, are firm favourites for this one.
