REF’s picks

Al-Riyadh hold a slight home edge here against an Al-Taawoun side struggling near the foot of the table, making the early quarter-ball start worth backing. Recent head-to-head encounters have been tightly contested, but Al-Taawoun's away form leaves plenty to be desired. Even so, Al-Riyadh's own lack of cutting edge means a cagey affair where the hosts could easily edge it by a single goal.

1. 1Al-Riyadh enjoy home advantage at Prince Turki bin Abdul Aziz Stadium against a relegation-threatened opponent.
2. 2Al-Taawoun have found wins hard to come by on their travels this campaign.
3. 3Al-Riyadh's modest scoring record means they could easily draw a blank if Al-Taawoun manage to tighten up defensively.
