Abha vs Al-Faisaly: Can Abha's Unbeaten Run Against Al-Faisaly Survive?

Al-Faisaly arrive in Khamis Mushait sitting 15th in the 18-team Pro League with seven points from ten matches, and they will be the more settled side on Tuesday. Their hosts are at the bottom of the table.

Two sides with little room to spare

Abha have two points from nine games and a goal difference of -11, the worst in the league. Al-Faisaly have collected seven points and sit with a goal difference of -9. Neither side can afford to drift, and a win here would give the visitors breathing space while leaving Abha still searching for momentum.

Abha’s struggle to find form

Abha’s recent results read LLDLL, and they have scored four times in their last five matches while conceding seven. Al-Faisaly’s sequence of LDWLD has been more mixed, with one win, two draws and two defeats, and they have also conceded seven across those five games.

Abha’s unbeaten run against Al-Faisaly

The head-to-head record is the most intriguing storyline. In the five most recent meetings, Abha have never lost. They won 3-1 at home in October 2024, drew 2-2 in both meetings that followed, and beat Al-Faisaly 2-0 away in January. The only other meeting in that span ended 0-0 in the Pro League in 2022.

That run is a source of optimism for Abha, but it has not translated into home comfort. Abha have yet to win at home this season, and their recent meetings with Al-Faisaly have been decided by fine margins. Any side that has struggled to keep the ball out will find this fixture hard to predict.

Our prediction

PreviaXI’s model narrowly favours Al-Faisaly, and the match looks tight rather than free-flowing. Abha have been stubborn against this opponent and will have the crowd behind them, but they have struggled to turn chances into points at home this season. Al-Faisaly have shown enough away from home to take a narrow advantage, and a single goal may prove decisive.
