Preview

Match preview

Al Diriyah enter round nine of the Pro League sitting in ninth position with 11 points from eight matches. The hosts have collected the majority of their points on the road, remaining winless at home after posting two draws and two defeats while finding the net only once in four home outings.

Al Taawon arrive in seventeenth place within the relegation zone, having accumulated just three points from eight league matches without a win. Their travels have been particularly difficult, resulting in four defeats from four away games with nine goals conceded and only three scored.

With Al Diriyah still seeking their first home victory and Al Taawon failing to earn a point on the road in league play, this matchup presents a clash of two sides that have found goals hard to come by. Óscar Rodríguez, who has contributed three assists for the hosts, provides an important creative presence that could help Al Diriyah take something from the contest.

Double Chance

Al Diriyah or Draw

75%

Confidence

Al Taawon have not won any of their eight league fixtures, losing all four on the road while conceding nine goals and scoring three. Al Diriyah have struggled in front of goal at home, scoring only once across four home matches with two draws and two defeats. Given that the hosts have yet to secure a victory on their own turf, backing them to win or draw covers the likelihood of another stalemate while taking into account the visitors' four consecutive away league defeats. Goal expectation remains restrained, as Al Taawon have scored only three league goals all season and Al Diriyah average 0.3 goals scored per home match.
