In a mid week match in week 26, on Thu May 5th, Al Ittifaq and Al Taawon will play a match in Buraydah in a Pro League match. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy but hot day with daytime temperatures of 36 degrees, which hopefuly doesnt affect the pace of the match. Al Taawon sits at 13th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 1-1 draw against Abha. Mostafa Fathi struck first for Al Taawon in the 17th minute on a feed from Leandre Geal Tawamba Kana, but Saad Bguir got the equalizer for Abha in the 44th minute squeezing out at least the one point for Abha. Al Taawon is looking for direction having earned 12 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, 15th placed Al Ittifaq, recorded a 0-1 loss against Dhamk. El Arbi Hillel Soudani struck first for Dhamk in the 41st minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring At the end of 90 a dissapointed Al Ittifaq couldn’t manage to score, and Dhamk took the shutout win. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 4 of their last 10.
In their last match on the 4th of November, Al Taawon won by a score of 3 to 1. Iago Santos scored the first goal for Al Taawon in the 2nd minute, then Naïm Sliti tied it up for Al Ittifaq in the 23rd minute on a feed from Walid Azarou.
Naïm Sliti and Robin Quaison are the top scorers for Al Ittifaq in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats. Mostafa Fathi has been the most prolific scorer on Al Taawon in the last 5 matches with three goals.
