Al-Ittihad FC have won three straight and scored 8 while conceding only 2 in their last three matches. They have been strong on the road, winning 6 of 9 competitive away games. Abha sit bottom with 0 wins, 2 draws and 8 defeats, having scored 6 and conceded 18, and they lost 1-0 at home to Al-Faisaly last time out. Their two recent meetings were 1-1 wins apiece, but both are dated and Abha's squad has changed considerably. The market and composite indicators both point to an away win, yet Abha's home press and counterattacks leave room for an upset, so the away win should not be backed as a one-sided call.
