Abha vs. Al-Ettifaq (September 16th) Saudi Pro League Match Prediction
Al-Ettifaq will look to bounce back to winning ways in the Saudi Pro League when they travel to the Prince Sultan bin Abdul Aziz Stadium to take on the hosts Abha on Saturday, with kick-off slated for 12:00 GMT.
Key Highlights
Abha have been inconsistent in their opening five outings in the Saudi Pro League. They have won twice and lost three times in the opening five rounds of fixtures. They hauled six points and currently sit 10th on the table.
The focus for Abha going into the home match against Al-Ettifaq is to regain consistency in their performances, which will translate into their results. Coming up against the fancied Al-Ettifaq, Abha will look to be pragmatic and leverage the counterattack to create chances.
Al-Ettifaq were leapfrogged to the top of the table after Al-Hilal defeated them in the match before the international break. Their four-match winning run ended, which means they dropped down to third on the table, level on 12 points with Al-Ahli Saudi.
Steven Garrard will look to get his charges to bounce back to winning ways in the match at Abha on Saturday and keep the pressure at the top.
