With 29 points from 32 games, Abha Club remain in relegation danger. They must win their last two matches for a chance to stay in the Saudi top-flight.

They are two points adrift of safety following their 5-1 loss to Al Ahly on Saturday, May 18.

During the rout, Ivorian midfielder Franck Kessie and former Manchester City winger Riyad Mahrez were on the scoresheet.

Upon his appointment as Abha Club head coach, Pitso Mosimane was saddled with the responsibility of maintaining their Saudi Pro League status.

His incredible managerial record would be affected should the team relegate to the second division.

Should they come out of the relegation zone after their game against Al-Khaleej, Abha will fancy their chances on the final day against bottom club Al-Hazm.
