Prediction Al Khaleej vs Al Taawoun 2025/2026 – Betting Tips for the Pro League on 25/09/2025

Preview: A high-octane clash at Prince Mohamed bin Fahd Stadium

Al Khaleej welcome Al Taawoun to Dammam on 25 September in what shapes up to be one of the most entertaining fixtures of Round 4 in the Pro League. Both sides arrive with momentum from the Kings Cup—Al Khaleej hammered Al Tai 5-0 while Al Taawoun swept aside Al Faisaly 4-0—so confidence is high and the goal mouths have been busy. The bookmakers make Al Khaleej slight favourites at 2.35, with Al Taawoun priced at 2.88 and the draw at 3.45, but the numbers behind recent form point to a contest that could deliver goals rather than a cagey stalemate.

Form and tactical outlook

Al Khaleej sit 4th in the table on six points after three league games, having scored eight and conceded three. Their attacking numbers are eye-catching: 39 total shots across the period and 11 on target, supported by an average of 70 attacks and 30 dangerous attacks per match. That attacking intent has translated into big wins recently, and Paolo Fernandes was singled out as the star man in their cup rout, earning an eye-catching best player rating. Defensively they’ve had moments of solidity—conceding just three overall in the league so far and keeping a clean sheet at home in the sample provided—but their recent season includes both emphatic wins and the odd slip.

Al Taawoun, occupying 6th with the same six points, carry their own offensive threat. They have seven goals in three league matches and boast a high shots-to-goal profile: 31 total shots with ten on target, and they’ve averaged nearly 44 attacks per match. Musa Barrow’s standout display in the cup underscores the forward firepower Al Taawoun possess. Their defensive ledger has been shakier, conceding eight in the league sample, which could be a vulnerability against a Khaleej side comfortable pressing forward.

The history between the two offers a contrasting note: their February meeting ended 0-1 in favour of Al Taawoun, showing that Al Taawoun can grind out results. But the last several fixtures for both clubs have been defined by high scorelines.

What the statistics demand: goals

Every recent metric points to goals. Both teams have produced Over 2.5 goals in their last three matches (over25Perc: 100% for both sides in the provided stats), and their cup results—5-0 and 4-0—show neither is afraid to open the throttle. Al Khaleej’s aggressive shot profile and Al Taawoun’s tendency to be involved in open, attacking matches make a low-scoring outcome unlikely.

Betting suggestion: Over 2.5 goals. With identical recent over/under records, two attacking units in strong recent form and bookmaker odds that leave value on a goal market rather than a narrow 1X2 pick, Over 2.5 is the sensible market to target for this encounter.
