Pro League preview: Can Al Feiha edge out victory against Abha?

3 - 0 - 6 with 11-22. What does this mean? Well, these are the statistics for Abha when playing on artifical turf like they will do today. Wins - draws- losses and goals scored-conceded. Abha play their home games on grass so that's why we provide these numbers.

Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1200 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Al Feiha form and stats

Al Feiha, who have the fewest conceded goals (1) at home in Pro League, have collected 13 points from their Pro League home games so far after 4-1-0. The Feiha fans aren't used to losing league-games here at Al Majma'ah Sports City Stadium and will expect new points from this game. Al Feiha has played 16 games in a row here without a defeat.

A nice win for Feiha last time playing, versus Abha. That was also a home game and the match ended 4-0 with Moutari, Abdalmoneim, Tachtsidis and Lopes scoring for the victors. As mentioned above, Feiha "killed" Abha in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.

Before that, Feiha played out a Pro League draw 0-0 when visiting Al Hilal.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Feiha have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eight games) they have won five times, drawn three and lost zero.

Feiha are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 6 goals in 5 games. As for guarding their own goal, Feiha have only let in 1 goal at home.

Abha form and stats

There's been little loot from Abha's travels as they have only collected 3 points from 6 away games in the Pro League. Abha only have 1 win to counter their 5 defeats and 0 draws. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Abha have lost on their last two travels.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Abha, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-4 versus Al Feiha (placed 6th). Abha lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one.

A draw for Abha before that, at their own venue hosting Al Hilal (1-1).

Abha are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is three wins, one draw and nine defeats. From a total of 13 matches.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Abha's away games in the league this season with only 3 goals from 6 matches. For Abha, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.

Head 2 Head

As for the last seven games between these two teams, there's three Feiha victories, two draws and two Abha wins. Over/under statistics; four of these games ended with three goals or more, three matches with two goals or less.
