Preview

Match preview

Abha host Al Kholood in round ten of the Pro League season searching for their first win of the campaign. Sitting bottom of the table in 18th position with only two points from eight fixtures, Abha have struggled for momentum, suffering six defeats and scoring just six goals while conceding 15.

Al Kholood occupy eighth place with 12 points from nine matches, though they arrive on the back of three consecutive defeats against Al-Faisaly FC, Al-Qadisiyah FC, and Al Riyadh. Despite that recent dip, they have produced substantially more offensive threat than their hosts, scoring 14 goals this season led by J. Domingues with four.

With Abha yet to record a victory home or away and Al Kholood still searching for their first away win after three draws and two losses on the road, both teams face an important opportunity to turn their form around.

Double Chance

Al Kholood or Draw

72%

Confidence

Abha have failed to win any of their eight league fixtures, managing two draws and six losses while scoring only twice in three home matches. Al Kholood have endured a difficult three-game losing sequence, but they have shown enough competitive balance across the season to amass 12 points. On the road, Al Kholood have drawn three of their five outings, indicating they have the capacity to take points away from home against an opponent that has not yet found a way to win. Defensively, Al Kholood have kept zero clean sheets in nine games and Abha concede 1.9 goals per game on average, which points toward a contest with opportunities at both ends and favours over 2.5 total goals.
