Abha have made a poor start to the season, picking up no points from their opening two matches and sitting near the bottom of the table. The poor run stretches back to the end of last season: they have lost five matches in a row and failed to score more than one goal in each of their last six. Over their last ten matches, Abha are averaging just 1 goal scored and 1.7 conceded per game. Weak finishing combined with a shaky defence has made it difficult for them to stay level in matches.

Al Khaleej Team Overview
The away team played their last official match on as part of the Professional League tournament (home team - Al Khaleej, away - Al Shabab). The match concluded with a scoreline of 0:0.
Here are the match stats (Al Khaleej vs Al Shabab):

- yellow cards: 1 vs 1;

Al-Khalij have made a slightly better start to the season, picking up two points from two draws in the opening two rounds. Their overall form still raises questions, though: three defeats and two draws in their last five matches. Over their last ten games, they are averaging just 0.8 goals per match, and seven consecutive matches without scoring more than once says plenty about their lack of ideas going forward. The defence has at least been solid enough to earn the odd draw, but without improvement in attack, climbing the table quickly will be difficult.

⭐ Editor's Pick
Bookmakers make Al-Khalij slight favourites, which is understandable given Abha's poor start to the season. That said, the hosts will have their own fans behind them and will want to end their losing run with a win, so sitting back and defending isn't really an option for them. Al-Khalij are also still looking for their first victory, which points towards a more open game. It's also worth noting that at least three goals were scored in 6 of the last 7 head-to-head meetings between these sides. Our pick is Total Goals - Over 2.5. Predicted score: 1-2.
