Al-Taawoun will host Al-Ittihad at King Abdullah Sport City Stadium on April 29, 2026. This match presents a significant opportunity for Al-Taawoun to leverage their home advantage against a struggling Al-Ittihad side missing key players.
Al-Taawoun currently sits fifth in the Saudi Pro League table with 49 points. They have achieved this through 14 wins, 7 draws, and 8 defeats. Their attacking prowess is notable, as they have scored 52 goals this season while conceding 38. Recently, they have shown decent form with two wins, two draws, and one defeat in their last five matches.
In contrast, Al-Ittihad is sixth in the league with 45 points, having recorded 13 wins, 6 draws, and 9 defeats. Their recent performances have been disappointing; they have won only one of their last four league fixtures. Overall, their last five matches across all competitions include two wins and three losses.
The most recent encounter between these teams ended with a narrow victory for Al-Ittihad, who claimed a 1-0 win. However, historical data indicates that Al-Taawoun has been strong at home this season, winning seven and drawing four of their 14 home fixtures.
Key statistics:
- Al-Taawoun: 49 points from 14 wins, 7 draws, and 8 defeats.
- Al-Ittihad: 45 points from 13 wins, 6 draws, and 9 defeats.
- Goals scored by Al-Taawoun: 52; Goals conceded: 38.
- Recent form for Al-Taawoun: Two wins, two draws, one defeat in last five matches.
- Recent form for Al-Ittihad: One win in last four league matches.
Observers note that Al-Taawoun aims to capitalize on Al-Ittihad’s struggles. They hope to pull further clear of their visitors in the league standings. Coach Chamusca’s side has made it difficult for opponents at home this season and will look to end their campaign positively in front of their supporters.
The head-to-head record favors Al-Ittihad slightly; they have won three of the last five meetings between these sides. Yet, with key players potentially sidelined for Al-Ittihad, this match could shift momentum toward Al-Taawoun.
