Preview

Match preview

Al Diriyah welcome bottom-placed Abha to round seven of the Pro League campaign. The hosts currently sit seventh in the standings with 10 points from six matches, having built their solid start primarily on an immaculate away record of three wins from three. At home, however, they are still searching for their first victory after recording one draw and two defeats in three outings.

Abha enter this clash in severe distress, rooted to 18th place with just a single point from their opening six fixtures. Having suffered five defeats already, they hold the division's worst defensive record with 13 goals conceded, including nine across their three away trips where they have lost every match.

While Al Diriyah's home return of just one goal in three matches suggests some caution, Abha's ongoing vulnerability on the road and lack of clean sheets make the home side well placed to take at least a point.
