Al-Ain form and stats
1-0-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Pro League numbers at home for Al-Ain so far this season.
Al-Ain's previous game was a Pro League match also played at home, ending 1-0 versus Al Taawon (placed 5th). The home side are looking to build on that result. A defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at Al Wahda.
The Al-Ain fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 7 goals in 4 league matches. Defensively there's plenty of potential for improvement as Al-Ain have allowed the opposition to score 10 goals here at King Saud Sport City Stadium.
Abha form and stats
1 win, 0 draws and 4 losses. That’s the product of Abha playing as the away team in the Pro League this season.
Home advantage was not enough for Abha in their previous game, as they lost their Pro League-match, hosting Al Wahda, 0-1. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Dhamk wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.
Abha are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 5 away goals from 5 games (in the league). Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Abha have conceded 9 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
