Abha form and stats
1 victory, 1 draw and 2 defeats. That’s what Abha have to build on here at Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz Sports City Stadium in the Pro League. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Abha, their manager M. Ševela and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.
A good away victory last time out for Abha, who won 1-0 against Al Ta'ee (placed 12th).
Before that game, the home loss against Al Nassr with the scoreline 1-3.Abha are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 5 goals in 4 games. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Abha with 8 goals conceded in these matches.
Al Fateh form and stats
The visitors are W1-D2-L1 on the road this term. That's in the Pro League. Fateh has drawn their two previous away games.
Fateh have succeeded in guarding their own goal lately, led by their goalkeeper Maksym Koval. It's been 218 minutes since they last conceded in Pro League.
I. Santini (2) and G. Wikheim scored in Fateh's previous match, the home game against Al Taawon that ended 3-0. Al Fateh delivered their win in the match against Al Taawon already in the first half, and could slow the play down in the final 45 minutes to ensure the glorious victory. A solid performance!
Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Al Ittifaq that ended 0-0.The attacking power of Fateh when travelling is not overwhelming with 3 goals scored from 4 league matches away. The Fateh defense is a tough nut to crack, having conceded less than half a goal per away game on average (2 goals in 4 games).
