Abha form and stats

When playing at home in the Pro League, Abha have managed 4 wins, 3 draws and suffered 4 defeats from 11 games.

Abha are returning here after visiting Al Wahda in a Pro League game and winning with a 4-1 scoreline. Riyadh Sharahili, S. Bguir, C. Strandberg and Abdulrahman Al Barakah scored the goal(s). Heartbreak before that as Abha lost 0-1 at Al Taawon's place.

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 14 in 11 matches. 16 goals have been conceded.
