Al-Taawoun FC vs Al-Ittihad FC Prediction: Ittihad will get a second consecutive league win

Al-Ittihad returned to winning ways with a 4-3 victory over Al-Kholood in their most recent league game. They’ll aim to recreate this victory as they take on Al-Taawoun at the King Abdullah Sports City stadium on Thursday. Taawoun on the other hand is yet to win a league game in their last 4 league games and they’ll most likely suffer another defeat at the hands of Ittihad on Thursday. Ittihad is in superb form and our prediction here aligns with a victory for Al-Ittihad. Let’s analyze both teams’ forms, key stats, and my expert opinion.
