2025-05-17 | Game Summary

In a tightly contested Saudi Pro League match at Al-Awwal Park, Riyadh, Al Nassr and Al Taawoun played to a 1-1 draw. The game, held on May 16, 2025, saw Otávio put Al Nassr ahead in the 51st minute, but Roger Martí­nez equalized for Al Taawoun in the 70th minute. Al Nassr dominated possession with 63.3% and had a significantly higher number of shots, 21 in total compared to Al Taawoun's 7. However, Al Taawoun's defense, with 5 saves, proved resilient.
Al Nassr committed fewer fouls (7) than Al Taawoun (14), but received more yellow cards (3 compared to 1). Both teams lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation. The AI had predicted an Al Nassr win with a 57.8% probability, making the draw an unexpected result. The AI model did not expect a balanced game.
Al Nassr's recent form has been mixed, with a heavy 9-0 win against Al Okhdood following losses to Al Ittihad and Kawasaki Frontale. Al Taawoun has also struggled, losing their last two matches against Al Qadsiah and Al Ahli, before this draw.
Looking at their next games, Al Nassr will host Al Khaleej, and Al Taawoun will host Al Riyadh. Historically, Al Nassr has dominated Al Khaleej in recent encounters. Al Taawoun, however, has a mixed record against Al Riyadh.
Considering their previous head-to-head games, this draw breaks a trend of Al Nassr victories against Al Taawoun. Al Nassr's recent attacking prowess, showcased in the Al Okhdood game, wasn't fully on display in this match. Al Taawoun's improved defensive performance earned them a valuable point. This game highlights the unpredictable nature of football, as the AI prediction failed to materialize, with Al Taawoun securing a draw despite being the underdogs. Both teams will need to address their recent inconsistencies to perform better in their upcoming fixtures. Al Nassr will aim to capitalize on their home advantage against Al Khaleej, while Al Taawoun will seek to improve their form against Al Riyadh.

The AI has spoken: on May 16, 2025, Al Nassr is predicted to triumph over Al Taawoun in their Saudi Pro League clash at Al-Awwal Park in Riyadh. The algorithm gives Al Nassr a 57.8% chance of winning, compared to Al Taawoun's mere 19.5%, with a 22.7% chance of a draw. Al Nassr's recent form has been a mixed bag, with a dominant 9-0 victory over Al Okhdood contrasting with defeats against Al Ittihad and Kawasaki Frontale. In contrast, Al Taawoun are coming off back-to-back defeats.
Al Nassr, boasting a team rate of 0.739, are considered the stronger side. Their attack is spearheaded by Cristiano Ronaldo, who at 40 years of age continues to defy expectations, and supported by the ever-creative Anderson Talisca. However, their recent head-to-head record against Al Taawoun is not entirely convincing, with the teams drawing the most recent game and Al Taawoun winning the one before that. Al Taawoun, with a team rate of 0.498, will be relying on a strong defensive performance.
