Al Fayha vs Al Taawon Prediction

Al Fayha have suffered throughout this campaign and spent the majority of this season tucked inside the bottom three and the relegation places but a four-match unbeaten run of form had lifted them out of the danger zone. However, the home team now come into this one on the back of a 2-1 defeat to Al Shabab in their most recent outing last week. Al Taawon sit firmly in the middle-of-the-table after an underwhelming and inconsistent run of form of late with their goalless draw at home to Al Orubah last week meaning they have managed just one victory in their last six matches across all competitions. Given the respective form of the two sides and their home advantage, a double chance bet in favour of Al Fayha looks the way to go for this one.
