Saudi Pro League action continues at King Abdullah Sport City Stadium on Thursday as Al-Taawoun takes on Al-Ettifaq.
The hosts have been involved in a number of entertaining matches this season, and another competitive fixture is expected with Al-Ettifaq proving a tough side to beat in recent weeks.
Past encounters have been tight, but a more open contest is expected in Thursday's afternoon kick-off in Jeddah.

Al-Taawoun and Al-Ettifaq have met 11 times since 2020. Al Taawoun won five of those games, while Al-Ettifaq picked up two victories, with two matches ending level. Eight of those 11 games finished with under 2.5 goals scored.
Al-Taawoun team overview
Al-Taawoun come into Thursday's Saudi Pro League after a thrilling 3:2 win at Al-Okhdood. Musa Barrow's brace secured a vital victory for Pericles Chamusca's side.
The hosts had endured a miserable 5:0 home defeat against Al-Nassr in the first league fixture of the new season at the end of last month.
Goals seem likely this weekend with the home side involved in several high-scoring outcomes this summer. Al-Taawoun have seen BTTS in five of their last seven games while a minimum of four goals were scored in four of their last six fixtures.
Head coach Pericles Chamusca is likely to keep faith in the same side that claimed a first win of the season last weekend. The hosts have no reported injury issues.

Al-Ettifaq team overview
Al-Ettifaq make the trip to King Abdullah Sport City Stadium looking to extend their unbeaten run following a hard-fought goalless draw against Al-Ahli last weekend.
Saad Ali Al Shehri's side began the new Saudi Pro League season with a 2:1 win against Al-Kholood at the end of last month. Seven of the visitors' last nine games finished with both teams on the scoresheet.
The Knights of Ad-Dahna have proven tough to beat, and they should be confident of emerging with a positive result on Thursday. Al-Ettifaq avoided defeat in nine of their last ten games while Al-Taawoun failed to win six of their last eight Saudi Pro League games since the end of last season.
Head coach Al Shehri is unlikely to make changes from the side that picked up a decent point against Al Ahli. Moussa Dembélé, João Costa and Abdulbasit Hawsawi remain sidelined with long-term injury issues.

Prediction
While this has often proven a tight fixture, recent numbers suggest we can expect some goals at King Abdullah Sport City Stadium this week. I'm taking a chance on over 2.5 goals scored on Thursday.
Three Reasons Why We Expect Over 2.5 Goals
- Al-Taawoun have seen over 2.5 goals in 5 of their last 6 matches
- Al-Taawoun have seen over 2.5 goals in 4 of their last 6 home matches
- Al-Ettifaq have seen over 2.5 goals in 3 of their last 4 matches (Saudi Pro League)
