Al Wahda form and stats

Al Wahda have secured 6 points from their first three home games in the Pro League. A decent catch, still with room for improvement.

A nice win for Wahda last time playing, versus Dhamk. That was also a home game and the match ended 4-2 with Ighalo and Goodwin scoring for the victors. A goal frenzy last time out for Al Wahda, with a total of 6 goals in the match against Dhamk. Fun stuff to watch! Ighalo was absolutely essential when Al Wahda beat Dhamk 4-2, scoring three goals.

A defeat was the result before that one, 1-4 away at Al Taawon.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Wahda's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played 4 games, won 1 match, drawn 1 and lost 2.

Goals keep coming in this club's league rounds, with 5 in a row seeing at least three goals (over 2.5).

Al Wahda can score goals in their home matches. After 3 league matches they have found the net 7 times.

Abha form and stats

It's not happening yet for Abha on their Pro League travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different?

Home advantage was not enough for Abha in their previous game as they lost hosting Al Ittifaq, 1-3.

Prior to that match, the Abha manager Michniewicz faced defeat when travelling to Al Ta'ee and losing 0-1.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Abha playing away, we found 4 games. Results were 2 away wins, 0 draws and 2 home wins.

Abha have the goal stats of 0-2 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.

Head 2 Head

Last ten meetings involving these participants: Al Wahda won seven, Abha triumphed in three and we saw zero draws. seven games with over 2,5 goals, three matches with two goals or less.
