Al Fayha vs Al Taawoun Prediction

Al Fayha have little left to play for this season and are unbeaten in four league games. Four of their last five games have had goals at both ends.

Al Taawoun, for their part, saw their hopes for a top-three finish ended last week following Al Ahli's emphatic victory. Pericles Chamusca's side will have to settle for a place in the AFC Champions League 2 but need a win to guarantee fourth spot.

Expect the visitors to claim a narrow win with goals at both ends.

Prediction: Al Fayha 1-2 Al Taawoun
