Abha form and stats

Abha have collected 20 points from their Pro League home games so far after 6-2-3.

The club members are hoping that Abha will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the match against Al Nassr (placed 2nd).

A defeat was the result before that one, 2-3 away at Dhamk.

This is expected to be a close game, with Abha perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Abha as a small favourite), we find twelve games. Abha has won two of these, drawn six and lost four.

Abha are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 15 goals in 11 games. 15 goals have been conceded.

Al Tai form and stats

There's been little loot from Al Tai's travels as they have only collected 10 points from 11 away games in the Pro League. Al Tai only have 3 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 1 draw.

Tai's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Al Taawon that finished 1-1.

Preceding that game was the away victory against Al Ittifaq with the score of 1-0.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found twelve similar matches played by Al Tai in our archives, and the results are: five wins for Al Tai, three draws and four defeats.

Tai are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 5 goals from 11 away games. Al Tai's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 17 goals from these trips.

Head 2 Head

The previous H2H game ended Al Tai - Abha 0-1, earlier this season. Previous ten meetings featuring these contenders: Abha won one, Al Tai triumphed in six and we saw three draws. three games with over 2,5 goals, seven matches with two goals or less.
