Al Ahli Jeddah form and stats
Al Ahli Jeddah have collected 11 points from their Pro League home games so far after 3-2-1.
The spoils were shared in Al Ahli Jeddah's previous game, also at home. Visiting Al Hilal (placed 1st) travelled back with a draw after a 0-0 scoreline. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Al Quadisiya (1-3).
A painful moment in the game against Al Hilal was the missed penalty kick from Omar Al Somah in the 9th minute. A goal there would obviously have changed the match and probably the outcome.
Jeddah are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 6 goals in 6 games. Al Ahli Jeddah have conceded 6 in these home matches.
Abha form and stats
3-0-4 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Abha in their Pro League matches away. It could be a hat trick of victories away for Abha, as they have won on their previous two travels.
The Abha goalkeeper Abdelali M'Hamdi is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 202 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.
Abha play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 1-0 victory visiting Al Ittihad (placed 5th). That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Al Faisaly.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Abha have scored 10 goals in 7 league games away. Abha struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 11 goals conceded from these games.
