After a much-needed break, Al Taawoun are back in action on Tuesday. They are set to take on this season’s surprise package Al Qadsiah in the quarterfinal of the King Cup of Champions (also known as King’s Cup). This is a brilliant chance for either side to book their place in the semi-final. 

Al Taawoun have endured a mixed campaign so far, languishing ninth in the Saudi Pro League before the break. However, Rodolfo Arruabarrena’s side have done really well in this competition, eliminating favourites Al Nassr in the last round. They have so far shown, they have all the tools to win this competition with Musa Barrow leading the line for them. 

Al Qadsiah on the other hand have surprised everyone with their encouraging performances. They have assembled a really good squad of experienced and young players. They are languishing third in the Saudi Pro League and might be the underdogs in the title race. In the last round, they defeated Al Wehda by making an excellent comeback after going down early to win the tie 2-1.

Players to Watch

Musa Barrow (⁠Al-Taawoun)

Musa Barrow has been in impressive form for Al Taawoun this season delivering some eye-catching displays. The Gambian international has already bettered his nine G/A contribution from last term having registered 11 goals and seven assists already in all competitions. He is on the right path to having his best-ever season with the club this season if he continues his excellent goalscoring form. 

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Al Qadsiah)

Al Qadsiah will be delighted by the impact their talisman has had this season. Before the winter break, Aubameyang was on fire, scoring two goals from the last three matches to take his tally for the season to seven in all competitions. With Al Qadsiah chasing silverware this season, Aubameyang has all the experience and tools to prove to be the difference maker in this competition.
