Al-Taawoun vs Al-Hilal: Predictions, Team News, Lineups Revealed

Al-Hilal aims to reclaim the top position in the Saudi Pro League with an away match against Al-Taawoun on Tuesday. Currently positioned in second, Al-Hilal trails Al-Nassr by two points after a recent 1–1 draw against Al Ittihad, who played with ten men. This match represents a critical opportunity for Al-Hilal, especially with Al-Nassr’s upcoming game, making this clash significant for both teams.

Match Preview: Al-Taawoun vs. Al-Hilal

Al-Hilal’s recent form has seen them drop points in four of their last six league matches. Although they maintain an unbeaten record this season, their inability to convert draws into wins has caused them to slip from a six-point lead. The team is determined to regain momentum against an unsteady Al-Taawoun, who has lost four of their last six fixtures.

Recent Performance

Al-Taawoun is struggling and has recorded a disappointing run of results, remaining winless in their last four games. Their most recent match ended in a narrow 3–2 defeat to Al-Fayha. With only one win from their last seven outings, concerns grow about their standing in the league.

• Current League Position: 5th
• Recent Match Results: D1, L3
• Last Win: 1–0 against Al-Kholood

If they fail to secure points against Al-Hilal, Al-Taawoun could find themselves falling to seventh place in the league table.

Head-to-Head Record

Historically, Al-Hilal has been dominant in this match-up. They have won 12 of the last 13 encounters, losing just once. In the most recent fixture, Al-Hilal claimed a 2–0 victory in March of last year.

Team News: Injury Updates

Al-Taawoun’s squad faces challenges with injuries. Attacker Musa Barrow is sidelined, along with winger Mohammed Al-Kuwaykibi, and center-back Andrei Girotto has not featured in several matches.

For Al-Hilal, striker Karim Benzema is looking to break a goal drought. He has not scored in the last two games since his initial hat-trick debut. Notably, several key players are unavailable due to foreign player regulations.
