Fourth-placed Al-Taawoun will look to make it four consecutive wins in the Saudi Pro League when they host seventh-placed Al-Fateh on Saturday at 15:00 GMT.
Key Highlights
Al-Taawoun have won their last three consecutive matches in the Saudi Pro League. The wins came against Al-Shabab (1-2), Al Feiha (4-1), and Al-Ettifaq (0-2). In this run, they have scored eight times and conceded twice; they have kept one clean sheet in the process.
Al-Taawoun will look to retain their good run of form when they host Al-Fateh on Saturday, making it four consecutive wins in the league as they focus on climbing the table ahead of Al-Ahli Saudi.
A win for Al-Taawoun will give them a chance to leapfrog Al-Ahli, who have 34 points, level with Al-Taawoun, after 17 rounds of fixtures.
Al-Fateh’s form is the opposite of the ascendency showed by Al-Taawoun. Al-Fateh have not won a match in their last five outings, drawing twice, and losing three consecutive matches in between.
Traveling to Al-Taawoun to take on the tasks on Saturday will be a difficult assignment; however, Al-Fateh will look to cause an upset and take the three points.
