Al-Taawoun will host Al-Nassr at the King Abdullah Sport City Stadium on Friday in another round of the 2024-25 Saudi Professional League campaign. The home side have had mixed results in the league all season but remain hopeful of securing continental football at this stage of the campaign as they sit eighth in the table with 21 points.
They locked horns with high-flying Al-Qadisiah last time out and picked up an impressive 3-0 victory, with Waleed Al-Ahmed's first-half strike sandwiched between goals from former Bologna forward Musa Barrow.
After a slow start to the year, Al-Nassr returned to winning ways last week as they secured a 3-1 comeback win over Al-Okhdood. They found themselves a goal down after just six minutes but responded emphatically with Cristiano Ronaldo scoring a penalty and Sadio Mane a brace.
Trending
The visitors have now climbed to third place in the league table with 28 points from 14 matches. They remain quite some distance away from the top two sides in the league but will remain hopeful of reducing the gap in the coming weeks.

Al-Taawoun vs Al-Nassr Prediction
Al-Taawoun's latest result ended a run of consecutive defeats and they will be looking to kick on from that this weekend. They have, however, lost their last two home matches and have a stern test on Friday.
Al-Nassr have lost two of their last three games after losing just one of their previous six. They are, however, by far the stronger side ahead of Friday's clash and should have more than enough to win here.
Prediction: Al-Taawoun 0-2 Al-Nassr
