Command Analysis

Al-Taawoun

Current form
Al-Taawoun finished fourth in the Saudi Arabian championship last season, which is why they were able to qualify for the Champions League 2. This season, we can no longer count on such a result, because the rivals have been sleeping heavily before the start of the season. The team occupies only the eighth place in the national championship standings and is already 17 points behind the third position. Recently, the hosts played five matches without a win in the Saudi Premier League, but in the last round they still managed to beat Al-Khalidj with a score of 1:0. In the group stage of the Champions League 2, the club managed to take first place, three points ahead of Al-Khalidiya. In the first round of the playoffs, the Saudis got to Qatar's Al-Wakrah. The away match ended with a score of 2:2, although Al-Taawoun led twice.
Disqualifications and injuries
The hosts have no problems with the squad on the eve of the second leg.
Interesting betting trends
- The team has won only one of the last seven matches.
- In three of the last eight matches, the hosts were eliminated.
Approximate line-up: Mailson - Al-Abdulrazik, Girotto, Al-Saluli, Rivas - Flavio, El-Mahdioui, Bahusain - Madash, Pedro, Baherbi.

Al-Wakrah

Current form
Al-Wakrah plays in the Qatar Stars League and is having an extremely unsuccessful season. The club ranks only ninth out of 12 and is only three points ahead of Umm Salal from the relegation zone. Last season turned out to be much more successful for the hosts - then they managed to take the fourth place. In the AFC Champions League 2, the hosts played only four matches. This happened due to the fact that the Indian Mohun Bagan was eliminated from the tournament, so only three teams remained in the group. The Qatari club managed to win only one victory in the tournament, beating Tajik Ravshan on the road (1-0). It was still enough to take second place in the group and advance to the playoffs. In the first match, the Qataris barely escaped defeat and drew with Al-Taawoun (2:2).
Disqualifications and injuries
The guests have no problems with the squad on the eve of the second leg.

1.70Tip and bets
The hosts recently finally ended their unbeaten streak by beating Al-Khalidj in the championship. The guests are no better than their opponent, and they are clearly weaker than Al-Taawoun in terms of composition. We believe that a home advantage will help the Buraida club to win the second leg and advance to the next stage of the second Champions League.
Our forecast is that Al-Taawoun will win in 1.70
Bet on the total
In the first match, the teams managed to perform effectively, staging a real thriller with intrigue until the final whistle. It is unlikely that the second match will turn out to be the same in the plot, but right now the opponents will decide who will go to the next round, so obviously the players will try to avoid mistakes in defense. We believe that one or two goals scored will decide the fate of the match.
Our forecast is a total of less than 2.5 goals in 2.20 minutes.
The first half bet
We do not expect that the opponents will move forward with great strength immediately after the kickoff. Obviously, it will take time to take a closer look at each other. In this scenario, a draw is likely based on the results of the first half.
Our forecast is a draw in the first half at 2.50
