Al Tai form and stats

When playing at home in the Pro League, Al Tai have managed 5 wins, 1 draw and suffered 5 defeats from 11 games. The last three games played by Al Tai, regardless of arena, have all ended draws.

Al Tai drew their last game, 2-2 away at Al Hilal (placed 4th). A disappointing finish for Tai in their match versus Al Hilal as their 2-0 lead was destroyed and replaced with a 2-2 full time score. The result 2-2 has occurred to the home side three league matches in a row!

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 2-2 versus Al Raed.

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 Al Tai have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 8 games) they have won 2 times, drawn 3 and lost 3.

Goals, goals, goals? Nobody knows what will happen in this one, but we do know that 12 of the 16 latest league games with this club has had three goals or more.

Tai have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Prince Abdul Aziz bin Musa'ed Stadium with 18 goals in 11 league matches. Al Tai have conceded 14 in these home matches.

Abha form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Abha so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 3-0-8 (win-draw-lose). Bitter travels for Abha as they have lost six games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Al Adalh match.

Impressive finishing from Sudani and Alsadi (2) secured the home win 3-2 against Al Batin in their previous game. Eureka; their first win in the league after seven matches not winning.

Preceding that match was the 1-1 draw at home vs Al Taawon.

Abha are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 2 wins, 1 draw and 10 defeats. From a total of 13 matches.

Sports betting statistic: Both teams have scored at least one goal in 10 of this club's last 13 league matches.

Abha have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 11 league away games 12 goals have been scored. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Abha's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 19 goals from these trips.

Head 2 Head

Abha have managed a sequence of 4 consecutive matches without losing (3-1-0) when facing Tai.

Abha - Al Tai 2-1 was the end result in these contenders' last head-to-head match, played this season.
