AL TAAWON VS AL KHOLOOD PREDICTION
The home team begin this weekend’s round of fixtures sitting just tucked inside the top-half of the Pro League table after a frustrating season. However, Al Taawon have still pulled off good performances and results as they compete on three fronts, one of which they continued with a 1-0 defeat of Al Nassr in the King Cup of Champions. They now face an Al Kholood side that have won just one of their opening eight matches and Al Taawon, especially with their home advantage, are firm favourites.
