Abha vs Al-Faisaly FC: what the match decides

Abha host Al-Faisaly FC at Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz Sports City Stadium on Tuesday 27 October 2026, in round 8 of the Pro League. The match decides a good deal for two clubs at the wrong end of the table. Abha are 18th of 18 with 2 points from 9 games, inside the relegation zone, while Al-Faisaly FC are 15th with 7 points from 10.

The leaders, Al-Hilal Saudi FC, have 27 points, so both sides are looking down the table, not up it. A win for Abha would be their first of the season and would cut the gap to five points. Al-Faisaly FC would move further clear of the bottom.

Abha and Al-Faisaly FC recent form

Abha have lost four of their last five league games and drawn the other, scoring just 2 goals and conceding 7. That works out at 0.4 scored and 1.4 conceded per game. They failed to score in three of those five, and the one clean sheet was a 0-0 draw at Al Diriyah. Their latest result was a 0-2 defeat at NEOM on 24 October. Only one of the five was at home, a 0-1 loss to Al-Ettifaq.

Al-Faisaly FC have won one, drawn two and lost two of their last five, scoring 7 and conceding 10, or 1.4 and 2.0 per game. Four of those five games saw both teams score and four had over 2.5 goals. They beat Al Kholood 3-2 and drew 2-2 at Al Shabab, but lost 1-3 at home to Al-Nassr on 23 October. In their two away games in that run they drew both, 0-0 and 2-2, so they are hard to beat on the road without being prolific.

Storylines: two sides searching for wins

For Abha, the story is the winless start. They have 0 wins, 2 draws and 7 defeats, a goal difference of minus 11, and have scored only 6 times in 9 games. Their last five league results read LLDLL, and the 0-0 at Al Diriyah is the only game in that run in which they avoided defeat.

Al-Faisaly FC have one win from 10, but four draws have kept them out of the bottom three. Their goal difference is minus 9, with 11 scored and 20 conceded. They come off two defeats in three, and a trip to the bottom side is a chance to put some distance between themselves and the drop.

Where Abha vs Al-Faisaly FC will be decided

The central contrast is Abha's attack against Al-Faisaly FC's defence. Abha average 0.4 goals per game over their last five, while the visitors concede 2.0. Something has to give, and the recent numbers suggest Abha will need to create their chances from a standing start, since they scored in only two of their last five.

At the other end, Al-Faisaly FC's games have been open. Four of their last five went over 2.5 goals and four featured goals at both ends. Abha have conceded 1.4 per game and lost four of five, so the visitors should find openings. The question is whether they can keep Abha out, having allowed 10 goals in their last five.

Abha vs Al-Faisaly FC head-to-head

The two have met six times, and the games listed here include four in Division 1 and two in the Pro League. Abha have won two, Al-Faisaly FC one, and three have been drawn. The meetings have averaged 2.5 goals per game, with both teams scoring in three and over 2.5 goals in three.

The latest meeting was on 21 January 2026, when Abha won 2-0 away from home in Division 1. Before that came 2-2 draws in September 2025 and February 2025, and a 3-1 Abha home win in October 2024. The last Pro League meetings were a 0-0 draw in Abha in May 2022 and a 1-0 Al-Faisaly FC win in November 2021.

Abha vs Al-Faisaly FC prediction

Our lean is that Al-Faisaly FC avoid defeat, with a narrow win slightly more likely than a draw. They have scored 1.4 per game recently against Abha's 0.4, and Abha have lost four of five. The visitors' two away draws and Abha's weak home record in the data, one game and one defeat, support that read, though it is a cautious one.

On goals, the lean is towards a game of two or three. Al-Faisaly FC's matches have been open, but Abha's attack is the weakest part of the picture and they failed to score in three of their last five. A draw is a real chance, given the three draws in six meetings. A first Abha goal early on could change the shape of the game, and so could late line-up news.
