Preview: Al Taawoun vs Al Ahli prediction, odds, where to watch, time | Saudi Pro League 2025-26
Sugar of Al-Qassim will take on the Royals on matchday 32 of the Saudi Pro League
Al Taawoun will host the newly crowned AFC Champions League Elite winner, Al Ahli FC, at the iconic King Abdullah Sports City Stadium. As very few matches are left to be played in the Saudi Pro League, both sides will hope to end their respective seasons on a positive note.
Al Taawoun had their ups and downs in this season, but they maintained their level. This season, they will miss out on finishing in the top four spot. So far, they have played 31 league games, in which they won 15, drew seven and lost nine games.
With 52 points on the board, they sit in the fifth spot. Last time these two sides faced each other, Al Ahli won the game by 2-1; this time, the home team will have their eyes on revenge for sure.
On the other hand, Ah Ahli won back-to-back AFC Champions League titles, and they were brilliant throughout this season. But they will be disappointed to not put up a good challenge in the league against Al Hilal and Al Nassr.
They were surrounded by controversies due to their allegations that the referee was biased in a few league games. They were a bit inconsistent in the league, and that’s the major reason for not putting up a fight in the title race.
In 31 matches, they won 22, drew six and lost three games. With 72 points, they sit in the third spot. Al Taawoun always puts up a great fight when they are up against Al Ahli.
