Al Nassr and Abha will face off in the MatchDay 9 of the South African Premier Division.
Al-Nassr is likely to dominate possession and convert some of their opportunities into goals. On the other hand, Abha may find it challenging to score, but they could manage to find the back of the net in the match.
Al-Nassr aims to build on their recent success with a 3-1 victory in the AFC Champions League against Istiklol.
Lately, Al-Nassr has struggled to maintain clean sheets, with opponents scoring in 5 of their last 6 matches, resulting in 7 goals conceded during that period. It will be a concern for them as they seek defensive improvement.
Last 5 Games: Won: 5, Draw: 0, Lost: 0, Scored: 16, Conceded: 6, Clean Sheets: 1.
Abha is looking to bounce back after their recent loss to Al-Riyadh in Professional League action.
Abha’s attackers have faced difficulties finding the back of the net in their last six matches, managing to score only 3 goals. During this same period, Za’eem Al-Janoub has conceded a total of 11 goals. Whether this pattern will continue in the upcoming game remains to be seen.
Fortunately for the Abha manager, he has a fully fit squad at his disposal, with no fitness concerns to worry about ahead of this match.
Last 5 Games: Won: 1, Draw: 0, Lost: 4, Scored: 3, Conceded: 8, Clean Sheets: 1.
The match will be played at the Al Awal Park at King Saud University.
