Preview: Al Najma vs Al Taawoun Prediction, odds, where to watch, time | Saudi Pro League 2025-26

These sides are going to confront one another for the fourth time ever.

Al Najma are now going to lock horns with Al Taawoun for their matchweek 29 contest of the 2025-26 Saudi Pro League. This is going to be an interesting encounter between these clubs, taking place at the King Abdullah Sport City Stadium.

With just two wins in 28 matches, the Star of Unaizah are in last place on the league table. They have been a poor form since the beginning of the season. As things stand, Nestor El Maestro’s men might even get demoted at the end of the season.

In their previous matchup, Al Najma secured a 2-1 win against Neom SC. It was a good performance by them across the field and this helped them secure three points. They will be at home for their next game and must use it to their advantage.

Al Taawoun have underperformed in their last three matches. They are coming in after facing a 1-2 defeat at the hands of Al Kholood in their last league outing. It was an underwhelming effort by the Pericles Chamusca-led side and they dropped three points once again.

Having won 13 of their 28 fixtures, thr Wolves are placed fifth on the Saudi Pro League points table. Being away from home is going to be a challenge for them in the next fixture. They will be looking to come up with a top performance so that they can return to winning ways.
