Week 6 features a match on Fri Oct 7th, where Abha plays host to Al Nassr in a meeting of these two mismatched Pro League teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 21 degrees, which will be a great treat for players. In their last match, 13th placed Abha, recorded a 0-3 loss against Al Fateh. Tawfiq Buhumaid struck first for Al Fateh in the 5th minute, then Firas Albirakan added another in the 61st minute At the end of 90 a dissapointed Abha couldn’t manage to score, and Al Fateh took the shutout win. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 9 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, 5th placed Al Nassr, recorded a 0-0 scoreless draw against Al Ittihad. Neither Al Nassr nor Al Ittihad could manage to put one past the goalie. They had 19 and 1 shots on net respectively, but no one could score, and the match ended in a 0 – 0 draw,. Al Nassr is looking for direction having 3 win and 1 losses in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season. Last season Al Nassr won the head to head battle with 2 wins.
Al Nassr is lucky enough to have a few offensive weapons, with Sami Al Naji and Anderson Talisca each having 2 goals in their last five. Saad Bguir and Abdulfattah Mohamed Adam are the top scorers for Abha in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
