Al-Taawoun vs. Al-Ittihad: Match Prediction
Al-Taawoun has shown resilience at home, but their recent form has been inconsistent. They will aim to tighten their defense against a high-flying Al-Ittihad side that has been prolific in front of goal. Al-Ittihad's away form is strong, and they will look to continue their winning streak.
Considering the attacking prowess of both teams, I expect a competitive match with goals from both sides. My prediction: Total over 2.5 goals
