Al Riyadh vs Al Taawon Prediction

The home team come into this one on the back of a slender 2-1 defeat to Al Shabab the other day after taking the lead and then conceding in the 97th minute via Abderrazak Hamdallah. Al Riyadh had been unbeaten in their previous four matches in the Saudi Pro League. They now face an Al Taawon side that are perennial overachievers in the Saudi Arabian top-flight but they have been a little inconsistent of late, albeit they recently shared a 1-1 draw with Al Nassr the other day. These are two evenly matched sides and both teams scoring may well be a good bet for this one.
