This Pro League fixture pits two teams in very different situations against each other. Al Taawoun sit at the bottom of the table with 4 points from 11 matches and have not won a single league game, while Al Ettifaq are in 7th place with 18 points. The hosts need points to steady their situation, while the visitors want to keep their rhythm going. Al Taawoun just won 2-0 in the AFC Champions League 2, but back in the league they simply cannot find their rhythm. All season they have scored only 5 goals in 11 matches, while Al Ettifaq just lost 0-3 in the GCC Champions League but won 3-0 in their previous league game and have scored 17 goals in 11 matches this season. The two teams therefore come into this in clearly different shape, both in terms of league results and in terms of goal production. Given this pattern, Al Taawoun are likely to be the side that has to open up, because they are at home and need points, while Al Ettifaq will probably wait to counter and use their advantage in attacking quality, having scored more consistently. The game is likely to be exchanged in the moments when the hosts push high, and the visitors have a chance to score from the spaces that leaves.
