We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
This is a local derby, usually meaning added tension and importance.
Al Raed form and stats
With 3 Pro League wins, 3 draws and 7 defeats from their home games, Al Raed are certainly not brimming with confidence.
A good away victory last time out for Raed, who won 1-0 against Al Quadisiya (placed 10th). Before that match, a win away at Al Ahli Jeddah.
Some amazing scenes last match, when K. El Berkaoui scored the winning goal six minutes into stoppage time.
The Raed fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 20 goals in 13 league matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Al Raed defense is not exactly impregnable. 22 goals conceded from 13 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Al Taawon form and stats
5-4-4 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Al Taawon, who have the most clean sheets (11) in Pro League, in their Pro League matches away. Taawon have won three away matches in a row now and will not be intimidated by being the visitors in this fixture.
Impressive finishing from Ahmad Asiri, L. Tawamba, A. Romero and Ali Al-Nemer secured the home win 4-2 against Al Ahli Jeddah in their previous game. Preceding that, the 3-4 home loss versus Al Fateh.
As you can tell from the result, the match against Al Ahli Jeddah was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Taawon have scored 15 goals in 13 league games away. It's worth mentioning that 8 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. It's not easy to score on Taawon as they have only conceded 11 goals from these away games. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
