Al Taawon vs Al Ittihad Prediction

Al Taawon come into this one on the back of a fairly busy January transfer window but their form has been a little underwhelming. Their goalless draw with Al Fayha in their most recent outing last weekend means they have lost one and drawn three of their last four matches. They now face an Al Ittihad side that, under the management of Laurent Blanc, came from 2-0 down to win 4-3 in an extremely entertaining clash against Al Kholood at the Prince Abdullah Al Faisal Stadium last week, a few days after they had suffered a shock and late loss to Damak. Al Ittihad are favourites for what could end up being an entertaining encounter in this one.
