Abha are welcoming Al Raed for another important game after their 1-2 result against 12th-placed Al Batin.
- Al Raed has the most dropped points from leading position (16) in Pro League
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
These teams have little in common geographically as Al Raed have to travel 1300 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Abha form and stats
Abha have collected 12 points from their Pro League home games so far after 3-3-3. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Abha, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
Abha's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 1-2 versus Al Batin (placed 12th). Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Al Ittifaq (1-4).
The Abha fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 12 in 9 matches. 12 goals have been conceded. It's worth mentioning that 7 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Al Raed form and stats
3 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses. That’s the product of Al Raed playing as the away team in the Pro League this season. It's a growing despair in Raed as they have recorded three consecutive losses.
Home advantage was not enough for Al Raed in their previous game, as they lost their Pro League-match, hosting Al Wahda, 1-3. A loss against Al Batin was the result prior to that, in a home game.
The visiting Raed have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 10 goals from 8 games. As opposed to that, Raed have seen the ball go into their own net 11 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
The dueling parties have met before this season: Al Raed - Abha 2-1. As for the last nine games between these two teams, there's zero Abha victories, three draws and six Al Raed wins. Over/under statistics; four of these games ended with three goals or more, five matches with two goals or less.Abha missing players
