With the nervous opening game out of the way it’s time for the second Pro League game of the season. Al Wahda look forward to welcoming Abha in front of their home support.

It's no vacation for neither Al Wahda nor Abha as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Al Wahda form and stats

Al Wahda's first Pro League home game here at King Abdul Aziz Stadium ended in defeat. Last season their home statistics were 8 wins, 1 draw and 6 defeats from 15 matches. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Al Wahda, their manager M. Cvitanović and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

Al Wahda's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-1 versus Abha. Ahead of that match, Al Wahda lost 0-2 at home to Al Ittifaq.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Al Wahda matches with similar probabilities have ended with 1 win, 0 draws and 1 defeat (from two games).

Al Wahda has scored 0 goals so far and conceded 2 goals from 1 home game. These are numbers from the league only.

Last season, Al Wahda's league statistics were 12 wins, 6 draws and 12 losses, resulting in a 7th position in the Premier League. Over these 30 matches they scored 41 goals and conceded 41. Playing at home last season Al Wahda managed 8-1-6 (win-draw-lost) with 23 goals and 19 conceded.

Abha form and stats

Abha have played one away game so far, a loss. Last season their away games stats in the Pro League were 8 victories, 5 draws and 6 defeats from 19 fixtures.

Abha play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 1-0 victory visiting Al Wahda. Prior to that match, the Abha manager Abdulrazak Alshabi faced defeat when travelling to Al Hilal and losing 2-4.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Abha when being an outsider away as they are today, we find one match with the visitors losing 0 times, drawing 0 and winning 1 game.

It's early days yet, but Abha has scored 2 and conceded 4 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).

Let's have a look at how Abha performed last season in the Division 1: They landed a 1st position in the league table after playing out 19 victories, 12 draws and 7 defeats. In total they scored 52 and conceded 38 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 8 - drew 5 and lost 6 with 22/21 goals scored/conceded.

Head 2 Head

Al Wahda-Abha H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: Al Wahda 7 wins, Abha 1 win, 2 draws. 9 of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
