Al Ittihad vs Al Taawon Prediction: Goals, Drama, and Betting Tips

If you’re searching for the most insightful Al Ittihad vs Al Taawon prediction ahead of their January 3, 2026 meeting, you’ve landed in the right place. The Saudi Pro League is serving up a tasty fixture at Alinma Stadium, and with both teams in intriguing form, there’s plenty for fans and punters to chew on. Let’s break down the tactics, recent form, and betting angles—without the usual football clichés.

Form Guide, Tactics, and Team News

Al Ittihad, currently sitting 7th in the league, have been a bit of a rollercoaster this season. Four wins, two draws, and three defeats tell the story of a side that’s got goals in them (17 scored), but also a defense that’s not exactly watertight (15 conceded). Their recent 2-0 win over Al Shabab suggests they’re finding their feet again, especially at home where they’ve won six of their last ten.

Al Taawon, on the other hand, are flying high in 3rd place. Nine wins, a single draw, and just one loss from 11 matches—now that’s a record to make any fan smile. They’re averaging a whopping 3.64 goals per game and are unbeaten in their last 11 league outings. If you’re looking for a team with momentum, the visitors have it in spades.

  • Head to head history favors Al Ittihad, with 13 wins from the last 25 meetings. Al Taawon have only managed five wins in that time, and haven’t tasted victory in Jeddah in their last seven attempts.
  • Both sides are missing key players: Al Ittihad are without Houssem Aouar and Saad Al-Mousa, while Al Taawon will be missing Angelo Fulgini and Musa Barrow, plus two on international duty.
  • Karim Benzema remains the main man for Al Ittihad, averaging 2.3 shots on target per match. If anyone’s going to break the deadlock, it’s probably him.

What to Expect: Tactics and Match Flow

Expect Al Ittihad to stick with their 4-3-3, looking to control possession (they’re forecasted at 60%) and create chances for Benzema and co. Al Taawon, despite being the away side, have shown they can score against anyone, so don’t be surprised if this turns into a bit of a shootout. Recent meetings have been lively—eight of the last ten saw both teams score, and nine out of ten featured over 1.5 goals.
