Al Taawon form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Al Taawon's two home games in the Pro League so far this season, having collected 4 points here at King Abdullah Sport City Stadium.

Happy days for Al Taawon in their previous game, a fixture away at Al Hilal (placed 2nd) that ended with a 2-1 victory. Al Taawon made it very difficult for themselves, when Kana got a red card in the 65th minute. The match was still a draw at this point. But even with this card, Al Taawon won the match 2-1!

Before that, Taawon drew at home versus Dhamk.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Al Taawon have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 11 games) they have won 5 times, drawn 4 and lost 2.

At King Abdullah Sport City Stadium, Al Taawon has the goal stats of 2-1 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.
