Al Taawon form and stats

Al Taawon have played 8 Pro League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-2-3 (wins-draws-losses). When Al Taawon hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Al Hilal, Dhamk, Al Shabab and Al Ittihad), they have won 1 of 2 matches! Hopes of three in a row are alive for Al Taawon after consecutive victories at their own ground.

No payout for Al Taawon in their previous match, an away game at Al Hilal that ended in defeat 2-3. Did Al Taawon get overconfident in their match against Al Hilal? We'll let you decide, but they did lose a 2-0 lead to end up with a 2-3 defeat.

Ahead of that match, Al Taawon won a home game hosting Al Hazm (2-1).

Al Taawon have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz City with 14 goals in 8 league matches. Taawon have conceded 12 from these games. When Al Taawon hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Al Fateh, Al Faisaly, Al Ta'ee, Al Batin and Al Hazm), the matches have ended over 2.5 goals 2 of 2 times.

Al Nassr form and stats

Playing away, Al Nassr have won 5 games, drawn 1 and suffered 3 defeats in the Pro League this season. Al Nassr have been producing wins at home as well, producing a total of five victories in a row regardless of arena.

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. Al Nassr goalkeeper Waleed Abdullah Ali is eager to challenge this, with his 303 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.

Al Nassr had fun at their own home (King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz City) last time out, beating Al Faisaly 4-0. Talisca, Ghannam and Martínez (2) scored. As mentioned above, Nassr was the only team on the pitch versus Al Faisaly in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task.

Before that one, a nice away victory 2-0 at Dhamk.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Al Nassr have scored 13 goals in 9 league games away. It's not easy to score on Al Nassr as they have only conceded 8 goals from these away games. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 0 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.
