Al-Taawoon - Al-Shabab: betting tip (cf 1.85) and bets on the Saudi Arabian Championship match (January 9, 2026) from UPU

Al-Taawoun has been doing great this season and unexpectedly ended up in third place. In terms of composition, the hosts are weaker than those behind Al-Qadisiya, Al-Ahli and Al-Ittihad, but they take their toll due to confident defensive play. Before the new year, the team from Buraida played a series of ten matches without defeats in the Premier League, with nine matches winning. But in January, in the very first match, Al-Taawoun lost to Al-Ittihad with a score of 0:1. 

Al-Shabab is the exact opposite of its rival. The guests have a solid squad, and a fairly well-known coach, Imanol Alguacil, is at the head. At the same time, the team is close to the relegation zone and is only ahead of Riyadh in terms of additional indicators from 16th place. The visitors have only lost in the last three matches, but defeats from Al-Ittihad (0:2) and Al-Qadisiya (2:3) hardly surprised anyone. On January 3, the visitors played terribly against Al-Fatah - a 0-2 defeat and two red cards in the second half.
