There's been ups and downs for these two teams so far this season, occupying positions near the middle of the Pro League table so far. Here's the Al Raed - Abha latest:
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1300 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Al Raed form and stats
4-1-4 (win-draw-lost) are the Pro League numbers at home for Al Raed so far this season.
Al Raed are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-3 away versus Al Hilal. Before that, Al Raed drew at home versus Al Ittihad.
Some supporters pointed their bitten nail fingers at M. Fouzair for missing a penalty kick versus Al Hilal in the 89th minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome.
Al Raed has scored 11 league goals at home this season, in 9 matches. Al Raed have conceded 17 from these games.
Abha form and stats
3 wins, 0 draws and 5 losses. That’s the product of Abha playing as the away team in the Pro League this season. It's looking increasingly bleak for Abha who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Dhamk was the last time a defeat was avoided.
The manager A. Chebbi was unhappy after their last game, a Pro League match played at their home ground Prince Sultan bin Abdul Aziz Stadium. Abha suffered a 1-4 loss to Al Wahda (placed 4th). Preceding that, the 1-2 home loss versus Al Hilal.
Abha find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 11 goals from 8 away fixtures in the league. Abha have conceded 18 goals in these games.
