Abha have not won a single league match this season, picking up just 2 points from 10 games and sitting 18th, while Al Ittihad are 4th and chasing the top spots. This game is therefore one where the hosts need points to steady their situation, while the visitors need three points to stay in touch with the top group. Abha have lost 3 in a row and are without a win in 5 straight, scoring only 6 goals all season but conceding 18 in 10 games, so their attack rests on defending and waiting to counter. Al Ittihad, meanwhile, are on a winning run and hit four in their latest league game, a 4-1 win. The pattern therefore points to the visitors dominating the ball and attacking continuously, while Abha drop deep and wait for their moment. If Abha can hold the score until half-time, the game could change, because Al Ittihad often concede a lot early in the second half. The hosts' first half should therefore focus on defending solidly and playing safe, while in the second half both teams may open up more as the side behind pushes the pace.
