Season ticket holders at Prince Abdullah bin Jalawi Sports City Stadium haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Al Fateh languishing in the 14th position so far. The guesting Abha will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Al Fateh and Abha.
It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Abha, who are travelling more than 1400 kilometers to play this game.
Al Fateh form and stats
3-4-4 (win-draw-lost) are the Pro League numbers at home for Al Fateh so far this season.
Fateh lost their last game at Al Hilal (placed 1st) after a 1-2 scoreline. Before that game, the 2-0 home victory against Al Feiha.
Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at M. Saadane for missing a penalty kick versus Al Hilal in the 82nd minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome.
Fateh has scored 15 league goals at home this season, in 11 matches. Al Fateh's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 16 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Abha form and stats
Playing away, Abha have won 4 games, drawn 0 and suffered 7 defeats in the Pro League this season.
Prior to that match, a home win 2-1 against Al Ittihad.
Abha have scored 15 goals on their travels this season, from 11 away games in the league. The Abha manager A. Chebbi has some worries about the defense as 24 goals have been conceded in these travels.
