Abha form and stats

Abha are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Pro League, having played 3 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 2 losses).

Abha are travelling after their nice 1-0 home win in the Pro League against Al Ittifaq (placed 10th). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Al Adalh wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

Abha has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 5 goals from 3 games. The Abha manager A. Chebbi has some worries about the defense as 7 goals have been conceded in these travels.
