In the last 5 meetings between the two, Al Nassr have won 2, lost 1, and drawn 2, but the most recent game in Jan ended just 1-0, while in Aug Al Taawoun came away with a heavy 0-5 defeat. This time it's different because Al Nassr are in red-hot form, on a winning run, scoring 10 and conceding 2, while Al Taawoun are still winless this season (2 draws, 1 loss) and have scored only 2 goals in 3 matches. Al Nassr's home form and a defense that often concedes late (25% of all goals conceded occur in the 76-90 min) could make for an open, entertaining game, but with clearly superior class, the hosts should control the match for most of it. The first thing to watch after kickoff is Al Taawoun's counter-attacks in the 46-60 min period, where they have scored the most (25%), because if they survive the opening phase, the game could turn.
