Al Taawon form and stats
When playing at home in the Pro League, Al Taawon have managed 5 wins, 4 draws and suffered 4 defeats from 13 games. With a nice streak brewing from their home games, Taawon are also looking for their fifth consecutive victory regardless of location.
Al Taawon's last game was hosting Al Tai (placed 8th) and winning 1-0.
Before that match, a win away at Al Khaleej.The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Taawon's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played 8 games, won 4 matches, drawn 2 and lost 2.
Sports bettors, take note: A review of the 13 latest league matches shows that 10 of them had goals from both teams.
The Al Taawon fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 17 in 13 matches. Taawon have conceded 17 in these home matches. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.
Al Tai form and stats
Al Tai have only collected 12 points from their away games in the Pro League, after 3-3-7 (13 played). Recent form does not give Al Tai much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Al Taawon will be a tough nut to crack.
Al Tai lost away at Al Taawon (0-1) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick.
A loss against Al Nassr was the result prior to that, in a home game.As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Tai playing away, we found 5 games. Results were 3 away wins, 0 draws and 2 home wins.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Al Tai have scored 18 goals in 13 league games away.
