LiontipsAl-Nasr vs Al-Taawun. Saudi Arabian Cup Match Prediction and Bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Al-Nasr is undoubtedly one of the strongest clubs in Saudi Arabia and will definitely be a contender for the championship. Unfortunately, the club did not win a single trophy last season. Both the championship and the national cup went to their main competitor, Al-Hilal.
The current season is not going well for the hosts either. The team is in third place in the Premier League standings, behind not only Al-Hilal, but also Al-Ittihad. In the last match, the club unexpectedly lost points in a confrontation with one of the outsiders, Al-Kholud (3:3). In the Champions League, there were also losses - in the first round, they managed to achieve only a draw with Iraqi Al-Shorta (1:1). After that, there were victories over Al-Rayan (2:1) and Tehran Esteghlal (1:0).
Disqualifications and injuries
The hosts have no problems with their squad ahead of the cup match.
Interesting trends for betting
- The hosts have won seven of their last eight matches.
- The team unbeaten streak has reached 12 matches
Probable lineup : Bento - Al-Ghannam, Lajami, Laporte, Yahya - Otavio Al-Khaybari - Gharib, Angelo, Mane - Talisca
Current form
Al-Taawun had a pretty good last season, finishing the Saudi Arabian championship in fourth place. The team beat such strong rivals as Al-Ittihad and Al-Ittifaq. This result allowed the club to get into the second Champions League, where they have already managed to beat Al-Khalidiya (3:2) and Altyn Asyr (2:1), while the visitors lost to Al-Quwa (1:2).
In the Premier League, the team is only in ninth place and is already seven points behind the leading three. In the last round, the guests lost to Al-Hilal (0:2). In the previous stage of the King Cup, the club managed to beat Abha in extra time (3:2, a.v.).
Disqualifications and injuries

2.18Tip and bets
The hosts are considered clear favourites in this match, but we don't think Al-Nasr will be able to win big. Some key players will probably miss the cup match to save their strength for more important games in the championship and the Champions League. The visitors, although inferior in class, fight to the end in almost every match and will probably be able to resist the favourites.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (+1.5) on Al-Taawun for 1.85
Bet on total
In face-to-face matches, teams do not like to sit in their penalty area, the opponents prefer open football. This match should not be an exception. We believe that with joint efforts, the opponents will reach the three-goal mark.
Forecast - total over 2.5 goals. You can place such a bet for 1.70
Bet on corners
If the opponents play on opposite courses, then we will certainly see a lot of serves from the corner flag.
Forecast - total over 9.5 corners. The odds offered for such an event are 1.67
