Pro League: Abha are 9 points short of Al Fateh, but are psyched to go all in. Bring it on!

Insights:
  • Abha is in the worst form (1-0-5)
  • Al Fateh have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

It's quite the trip for Al Fateh when visiting Abha as the cities are 1400 kilometers apart.

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Pro League. That game was also an away game, at Al Hilal. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

Abha form and stats

All-inclusive Pro League results playing at home this season for Abha are 4-1-4 (wins-draws-losses). It's trouble wherever Abha are playing these days as they have suffered four straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways.

Abha lost their last game at Al Feiha (placed 9th) after a 0-2 scoreline.

Ahead of that match, Abha lost 1-2 at home to Al Wahda.

The manager Coumans will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Al Nassr in only four days.

The Abha fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 11 in 9 matches. Abha have conceded 15 from these games.

Al Fateh form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Pro League travels is 5 wins, 0 draws and 4 defeats. It’s been three wins in a row for Al Fateh on their travels, an amazing performance which inspire hopes of making this one the fourth consecutive victory.

Fateh play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 2-1 victory visiting Al Hilal (placed 5th). World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager Donis when Ghannam scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 66th minute.

A 2-3 loss hosting Al Ta'ee before that.

Al Fateh have another match that requires travelling in just four days, a Kings Cup match against Al Hilal. A back-breaking itinerary for them!

Al Fateh are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 16 times in 9 away games so far. Fateh have conceded 12 goals in these away matches.
