Al-Ettifaq has shown strength at home, relying on a solid defensive strategy. Meanwhile, Al-Taawoun's recent form has been impressive, particularly in attack. However, their away performance has been less consistent. Considering these factors, I anticipate a closely contested match with limited goals. My prediction: Total under 3.5 goals
