It's match week two of the Pro League season and everything to play for. Don't miss our thorough preview of Al Taawon-Al Hilal!
Al Taawon and Al Hilal should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Al Taawon form and stats
In the previous season, Al Taawon's league statistics were 13 wins, 8 draws and 9 losses, producing 4th position in the Pro League. Over these 30 matches they scored 42 goals and conceded 30. Appearing at home in the previous season Al Taawon delivered 7-4-4 (win-draw-lost) with 25 goals and 16 conceded.
The home team returns to King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz City after being equal after 90 minutes with Al Hazm (placed 7th) on their last time out; the Pro League game ended 3-3. Opportunity lost for Taawon in the Al Hazm match as a lead 2-0 was lost and what looked like a victory ended in a draw. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?
Heartbreak before that as Taawon lost 0-2 at Dhamk's place.Al Hilal form and stats
Let's have a look at how Al Hilal performed last season in the Pro League: They landed a 1st position in the league table after playing out 18 victories, 7 draws and 5 defeats. In total they scored 60 and conceded 27 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 8 - drew 4 and lost 3 with 30/14 goals scored/conceded.
Saleh Al-Shehri scored in Hilal's previous match, the home game against Al Ta'ee that ended 1-0. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager J. Nunes Alves Sousa Jardim when Saleh Al-Shehri scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 67th minute. Late drama in the previous game, when Saleh Al-Shehri scored the winning goal one minutes into stoppage time to defeat Al Ta'ee.
That result followed a home victory 3-2 versus Al Faisaly.Head 2 Head
