It will be 15th versus 16th in the Saudi Pro League when Abha goes one-on-one against Al-Akhdoud on Saturday, with kickoff scheduled at 15:00 GMT.
Key Highlights
Abha won only their third match this season when they obtained a win at home to Al-Shabab in a 2-1 scoreline. This triumph ended a four-match winless run that included three defeats and a draw.
Abha followed the win up with a shocking 1-2 win away to Al-Ahli Saudi on Tuesday, eliminating their prestigious rivals from the King Cup of Champions. Abha will look to take the momentum from their last outings into the clash against Al-Akhdoud on Saturday.

In their last three defeats, Al-Akhdoud have conceded seven times and scored a solitary goal, underscoring their poor form.
