Al-Khaleej vs. Al-Taawoun: Match Prediction
Al-Khaleej is fighting to avoid relegation, and they will look to make the most of their home advantage. However, their lack of consistency has been a concern. On the other hand, Al-Taawoun is in good form and has been strong on the road. Considering the current form of both teams, my prediction: Total under 2.5 goals
