While most of the top leagues in Europe have now come to an end, there are plenty of others across the globe that are still going strong. That’s especially true in Saudi Arabia, where some of the biggest stars are performing in what is still seen as a pretty controversial decision. With that being said, there are plenty of great games to get excited about, including Al Taawon vs Al-Ettifaq.
Al Taawon Form GuideAl Taawon, also known as Al-Taawoun FC, is a professional football club based in Buraidah, Saudi Arabia. In recent seasons, Al-Taawoun has been competitive in the Saudi Pro League, often finishing in the upper half of the table and striving to qualify for continental competitions as they continue to get better and work on their fundamentals.
Al Taawon are currently in 4th place after a really strong season that has seen them concede just 35 goals, showcasing their defensive strength with the 3rd best record in the league. However, if they drop points, there’s a chance that Al-Ittihad could leapfrog them.
Al-Ettifaq Form GuideAl-Ettifaq, also known as Ettifaq FC, is a professional football club based in Dammam, Saudi Arabia. In recent years, Al-Ettifaq has been working to re-establish itself as one of the top teams in the Saudi Pro League. They have been investing in both local talents and international players to strengthen their squad.
Outside of a mathematical miracle, Al-Ettifaq will finish their campaign in 6th place, which is a pretty decent finish. They’ve won 12 games, drawn 12 games and lost nine, so while there are certainly places where they can improve, they’ve got a good base to build off of.
Match PredictionOn the final day of the season, you can throw the rule book swiftly out of the window. There’s so much on the line and with the stakes being that high, and with these sides being confident going forward, we can’t see an outcome other than over 2.5 goals scored and a whole lot of entertainment for neutrals.
