Al Hilal vs Al Taawoun Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

The Blue Waves are currently unbeaten in the Saudi Pro League.

On Matchday 8 of the Saudi Pro League, Al Hilal will host Al Taawoun at the Kingdom arena. The Blue Waves have made a perfect start to the season with seven wins in as many games. They are sitting on top of the table and are heavy favourites to defend their league title successfully. Their superstar Neymar returned to the pitch during their latest clash against Al Ain, which added more strength to the team.

They have scored 21 goals already this season and have conceded only six. It perfectly reflects their impressive attacking and defensive prowess.

Al-Taawoun, on the other hand, have made a decent start to the season. They have accumulated 11 points from their opening seven matches. The Wolves have three wins, two draws, and two losses in their league campaign so far. The Argentine manager Rodolfo Arruabarrena was appointed to lead the team back in July, and he has yet to unleash the best of this team.
