Al-Raed
In their last outing, Al-Raed suffered a 0-2 defeat at home against Al-Nassr. This result extended their winless streak in the Saudi Pro League to three matches (1 draw, 2 losses). Al-Raed has struggled offensively, scoring only twice in their last four matches. In the standings, Al-Raed is currently in the lower half, and to climb up, they need to improve both their defense and attack.
- The team has not lost in regular time in 3 of their last 5 home matches in the Saudi Pro League (2 wins, 1 draw).
- Al-Raed has not conceded more than one goal in 90 minutes in their last five home games in this tournament.
- The number "0" has appeared in the scoreline at the end of regular time in 4 of Al-Raed's last 6 home matches in the Saudi Pro League.
Al-Taawoun
Al-Taawoun comes into this match following a 3-1 victory over Al-Fateh. This win marked their third consecutive victory in the Saudi Pro League, showcasing their attacking prowess. Al-Taawoun has scored at least two goals in each of their last three matches. They are currently in the top half of the standings and are aiming to secure a spot in the continental competitions.
- The team has not won in regular time in their last four away matches in the Saudi Pro League (2 draws, 2 losses).
- No more than two goals have been scored in 90 minutes in 4 of Al-Taawoun's last 6 away games in this tournament.
- At least one of the opponents failed to score in regular time in 5 of Al-Taawoun's last 7 away matches in the Saudi Pro League.
Al-Raed vs. Al-Taawoun: Match Prediction
Al-Raed has shown resilience at home, but they have struggled to find the back of the net consistently. Their defense has been relatively solid, conceding only a few goals in their recent home matches. Meanwhile, Al-Taawoun has been impressive offensively, especially in their recent games. However, their away form has been less convincing.
Considering all factors, I do not expect this match to be high-scoring. My prediction: Total under 2.5 goals
