Al-Taawoun continues to grow in strength and demonstrate remarkable performance in the ongoing league season. With three consecutive league victories and four wins in their last five games, they are determined to maintain their winning form and uphold their impressive start to the new season. Notably, they are only one point behind the current league leaders, Al-Hilal. Their most recent league match against Al-Tai concluded in a resounding 3-0 victory for Al-Taawoun, with Joao Pedro contributing to the scoreline.
With an impressive record of seven victories, one draw, and a single loss in their league matches, Al-Taawoun is committed to sustaining their positive momentum and solidifying their position in the league standings. Joao Pedro is a force to reckon with in Al-Taawon this season as he continues to find the net for Taawoun, even in their most recent league game.
Al-Ittihad FC (4th)

Al-Ittihad's performance in the current league season has indeed been commendable, although they have faced a slight dip in form, notably remaining winless in their last two league matches. Over their last five fixtures in all competitions, they have secured two notable victories, played out a draw, and suffered two losses. Their recent league encounter against Al-Ahli was particularly disappointing, resulting in a significant defeat. As they prepare to face Al-Taawoun, they are keen to regain their winning momentum. It's also worth noting that their AFC Champions League campaign began positively with a victory over AGMK in the first round, and their second-round match against Sepahan was postponed, underscoring their competitiveness both in domestic and continental competitions.
Al-Ittihad's season has begun on a positive note, boasting a remarkable overall league record of six wins, a draw, and two losses from their nine games. Abderazak Hamdallah leads the team in goal-scoring with five goals this season.
