Al Taawon form and stats

0 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss. That’s the product of Al Taawon playing as the away team in the Pro League this season. One point away has become something of a habit for Taawon who have played out draws in their last three away games.

Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Taawon goalkeeper Cassio Albuquerque dos Anjos is eager to challenge this, with his 267 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.

Taawon are travelling after their nice 4-0 home win in the Pro League against Al Shabab (placed 3rd).

As you can tell from the results above, Taawon was very dominant against Al Shabab, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 4-0 (!) with Iago Santos, Sandro Manoel, L. Tawamba and Malek Al-Abdulmonam providing the goals.

Taawon are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 2 goals from 4 away games. It's not easy to score on Taawon as they have only conceded 3 goals from these away games.
