There's been ups and downs for these two teams so far this season, occupying positions near the middle of the Pro League table so far. Here's the Al Taawon - Al Ittifaq latest:
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 pitch has grass, which is not Al Ittifaq's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on grass Al Ittifaq have performed like this: Played 29 matches resulting in 4 wins, 8 draws and 17 defeats with the goal stats 32-55 (scored/conceded).
Relegation threatens Taawon who should definitely be looking for some points here. Al Ittifaq are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.
Al Taawon form and stats
Overall Pro League stats at home this season for Al Taawon are 7-2-4 (wins-draw-losses). Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Taawon with their five defeats in a row. Not since the Al Ahli Jeddah game, 172 days ago, have they avoided a loss. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Al Taawon, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
Preceding that match was a defeat to Al Nassr (1-4).
Taawon has scored 18 league goals at home this season, in 13 matches. On the other hand, Al Taawon have conceded 17 goals.
Al Ittifaq form and stats
The visitors are W4-D3-L6 on the road this term. That's in the Pro League.
Ittifaq are travelling after their nice 4-0 home win in the Pro League against Al Raed (placed 6th). Before that, Ittifaq travelled to Al Fateh and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.
As you can tell from the results above, Ittifaq was very dominant against Al Raed, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 4-0 (!) with S. Doukara, F. Kiss, Abdullah Al Salem and Hazzaa Al Hazzaa providing the goals.
The travelling fans enjoy Al Ittifaq's attacking play in away games, having scored 20 goals in 13 league matches away. As opposed to that, Ittifaq have seen the ball go into their own net 16 times on the road.
