In a weekend match on Sat Jan 1st, in week 15, Al Taawon plays host to Dhamk in a meeting of these two Pro League teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 19 degrees, which will be a great treat for players. 15th placed Al Taawon is fresh off their 1-3 loss against Al Shabab. Odion Ighalo struck first for Al Shabab in the 24th minute on a feed from Al-Harbi, then in the 33rd minute, Alejandro Romero Gamarra sent in a beautiful pass which was converted by Iago Santos. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 9 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, Dhamk recorded a 1-1 draw against Al Batin. Renato Chaves scored the first goal for Dhamk on an own goal in the 15th minute, but Fabio Abreu got the equalizer for Al Batin in the 88th minute squeezing out at least the one point for Al Batin. With 19 points in their last 10 matches Dhamk should be reasonably happy with their performance.
This match will be the first time these two teams face eachother this season. Last season these teams were evenly matched with 1 win apiece.
Dhamk’s most prolific scorer has been El Arbi Hillel Soudani. The attacker has netted 2 goals over the last 5 matches. Tawamba Kana has been the most prolific scorer on Al Taawon in the last 5 matches with 3 goals.
