Since 2020, the two sides have faced each other eight times. Al Faisaly dominated that period, winning four times and kept as many clean sheets. Abha only managed two wins, while two games ended in a draw. The average number of goals scored per game during this period was 2.13.
Abha team overview
Having been relegated from the Saudi Pro League the previous year, Abha were looking for immediate promotion last season, but things didn’t go according to plan.
The leaders of the south finished in eighth place, partly due to the number of games they drew (12). They ended the 2024/25 campaign with a resounding 3:0 win over Al Ain, and will be hoping that this victory marks the beginning of a period of success.
However, head coach Abderrazek Chebbi will be concerned that his team has won only two of their last eight home games.

Al-Faisaly team overview
Meanwhile, Al Faisaly extended their time in the second tier to four consecutive seasons by finishing just four points above the relegation zone in the 2024–25 campaign.
The Blue Eagles ended last season in poor form and their lack of preseason preparation could prove crucial in the new campaign. Al Faisaly failed to win any of their final five games last season, losing three and drawing two.
Giovanni Solinas’s team lost the two away games in that period by a combined score of 7–3, but they can take motivation from the fact that they lost only one of their last five meetings with Abha.

Prediction
Neither side is in the best form going into this game, so it’s difficult to pick a clear winner. However, I think home advantage could be key for Abha. The leaders of the south have lost only one of their last seven matches on this ground, and have also won two of their last three home matches against Al Faisaly. I am therefore predicting a 2–1 victory for the hosts.
Three reasons we expect at least three goals in this game
- All the last three away games of Al-Faisaly produced 3+ goals.
- Abha kept a clean sheet in only two of their last eight matches.
- Al-Faisaly kept a clean sheet in just one of their last ten matches.
