This could be an interesting match as Al Taawon have their presumed home advantage while Al Ahli are ahead 8 points in the Pro League table.
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Pro League. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Abha.
These teams have little in common geographically as Al Ahli have to travel 900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Al Taawon form and stats
The home supporters can't complain about results here at King Abdullah Sport City Stadium as Al Taawon have scored 16 goals to get 20 points from 10 games. The overall stats in the Pro League are 6-2-2 (wins-draws-losses).
No payout for Al Taawon in their previous match, an away game at Abha that ended in defeat 1-2. Preceding that match was a defeat to Al Hilal (0-1).

After this away game Al Ahli return home for a Kings Cup game against Al Nassr. That game is only four sleeps after this.
