Abha form and stats
Overall Pro League stats at home this season for Abha are 4-3-5 (wins-draw-losses).
Abha's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 3-4 versus Dhamk (placed 14th). Before that match, a win away at Al Wahda.
As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today? The defeat against Dhamk was especially painful as the deciding goal against was scored two minutes into stoppage time (by F. Chafaï).
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Abha have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found nine matches with the results: Won one, drawn five and lost three.
The Abha fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 17 in 12 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 20 goals have been conceded.
