Al Qadsiah vs Al Taawon Prediction
These two faced off in the Saudi King Cup of Champions quarter-finals in midweek with Al Qadsiah pulling off an impressive 3-0 win away from home thanks to goals from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Cameron Puertas and Julian Quinones. Al Qadsiah have overperformed this season as they begin this weekend’s round of fixtures sitting tucked inside the top three in the Saudi Pro League. Al Taawon are often the team to ruffle the feathers of the so-called ‘big four’ but another Al Qadsiah victory, especially with their home advantage, is the likeliest outcome for this one.
