February 10th features a match where Al Raed hosts Abha at King Abdullah Sport City Stadium in a clash of the Pro League. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 18 degrees, which will be a great treat for players. In their last match, Al Raed recorded a 0-3 loss against Al Khaleej. André Poko scored the first goal for Al Khaleej in the 31st minute, then Khaled Al Samiri added another in the 60th minute on a feed from André Poko In the end, Al Raed was frustrated by Al Khaleej’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Al Khaleej ended the match with the shutout victory. Al Raed looks to improve on their recent performance, having lost 7 of their last 10, while in their last match, 7th placed Abha, recorded a 2-0 shutout win against Al Khaleej. Saad Natiq struck first for Abha in the 71st minute on a feed from Alsadi, then Saad Bguir added another in the 81st minute At the end of 90 a dissapointed Al Khaleej couldn’t manage to score, and Abha took the shutout win. Abha should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 18 points in their last 10 matches.
Abha and Al Raed last played eachother at the Prince Sultan Bin Abdul Aziz Stadium on the 27th of August. Abha won by a score of 2 to 1. Mohammed Salem scored the first goal for Al Raed in the 34th minute, but Abdulfattah Mohamed Adam got the equalizer for Abha in the 51st minute But fortunately they were able to complete the comaback victory in the 60th minute on a goal by Saad Bguir.
