Al-Taawoun, a mid-table team in the Saudi Professional League, boasts a market value of €25.99 million and a decent squad. They have consistently finished in the top five in the last two seasons, although they slipped to eighth last season. Their season began poorly with a 0:5 home defeat to Al Nassr. However, they've shown a strong recent run in both the league and cup competitions, achieving an impressive record of 8 wins and 2 draws, highlighting their potent attack. They currently sit third in the league. Al Najma, promoted from the Saudi First Division as runners-up, has a market value of €12.50 million. The squad hasn't seen any significant changes after promotion, and their style of play is not overly defensive. However, their attacking capabilities are not sharp, and their defensive cooperation is average. Their performance in the new league season has been poor, with just one draw and nine losses in the first ten matches. Both their offense and defense are showing signs of fatigue, indicating a struggle to adapt to the higher level of competition. Considering the disparity between the two teams and the initial betting odds, which don't fully reflect the teams' strengths, a subsequent increase in the odds suggests that Al-Taawoun should not be overvalued in this match.
