Abha – Al Raed preview: Recent form, news, and possible lineups

Read the latest news and updates on both teams ahead of their duel, including our predicted Abha vs Al Raed lineups:

Abha

After last season in which they were close to the relegation zone, Abha fans hoped to see their team do better this time around and avoid the stress of fighting for survival. However, it seems that this team is far from having the quality to finish far away from the relegation zone and they already started the new season with a loss in the first round of Saudi Pro League.

Abha predicted lineup:

Epassy – Naji, Al Sudani, Jamal, Al Qumayzi – Kamano, Matic, Krychowiak, Jumayah – Al Salouli, Bguir

Al Raed

Similarly to their upcoming opponent, Al Raed finished last season in Saudi Pro League just one point ahead of Abha and six points ahead of the first team in the relegation zone. However, that was enough to put them in the 9th place, close to the middle of the table. The team also started the new season with a loss, although they lost to the defending champions Al Ittihad.

Al Raed predicted lineup:

Al Harbi – Al-Sobeai, Al Fahad, Whaeshi, Al Jayzani – Sunbul, Loum, Al Beshe, Al Dossary – Sayoud, El Berkaoui

Player to Watch: Sead Bguir

Since we can see Abha winning this match, our player to watch comes from this team and it is their experienced attacking midfielder Sead Bguir.

The 28-year-old Tunisian has been one of the best players for the team last season, scoring eight goals and adding six assists. Bguir started the new season in the same manner, scoring a goal in the opening match against Al Hilal.
