The team displayed exceptional attacking prowess, scoring five goals for the first time in the competition's history.

Al-Kholood vs. Al-Taawoun: Match Prediction
Since moving up a division, Al-Kholood has faced challenges but has shown resilience at home, even against higher-ranked opponents. They adopt a defensive strategy, aiming for positive results, and have conceded just one goal in their last two home Saudi Pro League matches. However, Al-Kholood has yet to score in this tournament after four matches.
Al-Taawoun's performance varies significantly between home and away games. At home, they have scored nine goals in two matches and collected six points, while away, they have earned just one point and scored only twice. In 6 of Al-Taawoun's last 7 away Saudi Pro League games, they have not scored more than one goal. Meanwhile, they have conceded a maximum of one goal in 7 of their last 10 away matches in this tournament.
Considering all factors, I do not expect this match to be high-scoring. My prediction: Total under 3.5 goals
