Abha and Al Riyadh will face off in the MatchDay 8 of the South African Premier Division.
Al-Riyadh is likely to score against the Abha defense, but it might not be sufficient to secure a victory.
Abha is determined to achieve a better outcome in their upcoming match following a disappointing 4-0 loss in the Professional League against Al-Wahda.
Unfortunately, Abha has struggled defensively in recent games, conceding goals in 5 of their last 6 matches, totaling 10 goals against them. It remains to be seen whether this defensive pattern will continue in the upcoming match.
Last 5 Games: Won: 1, Draw: 0, Lost: 4, Scored: 3, Conceded: 10, Clean Sheets: 0.
Al-Riyadh aims to reverse their fortunes in the upcoming match after a loss to Al-Fayha in their previous Professional League game.
Al-Riyadh has been involved in high-scoring matches lately, with a total of 23 goals in their last six games, averaging an impressive 3.83 goals per fixture. However, they have also conceded 19 goals during this period. It will be interesting to see if this trend continues in the upcoming match.
The manager of Al-Riyadh is fortunate to have a fully fit squad to choose from, with no fitness concerns ahead of this clash.
Last 5 Games: Won: 0, Draw: 0, Lost: 5, Scored: 3, Conceded: 15, Clean Sheets: 0.
The match will be played at the Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz Sports City Stadium.
