📊 Form Guide
Al-Ain
WWWWLW
Al-Ain, buoyed by their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after the 0-4 Arabian Gulf League victory against Ajman.
The only scorer from Al-Ain was Soufiane Rahimi (19', 74', 88').
Fixtures featuring Al-Ain have proved to be engaging affairs recently with a lot of goalmouth action being the norm. Over their past six clashes, the sum of 24 goals have been recorded for both teams combined (at an average of 4 goals per game) with 16 of them coming from Al-Ain.
Sharjah
DDDWLD
Previously, Sharjah drew 2-2 in the Arabian Gulf League match with Al-Nasr.
Adel Taarabt (64') scored for Al-Nasr.
The numbers tell their own story, and Sharjah have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, with opponents netting 7 goals overall. At the back, Sharjah certainly have room for improvement. We will see if that trend will end up being continued on in this game.
↔️ Head to head
A review of their prior head-to-head clashes dating back to 13/02/2021 shows that Al-Ain have won 3 of these & Sharjah 1, with the number of drawn games being 2.
A sum of 18 goals were yielded between them during those clashes, with 10 for Al Zaeem and 8 for Al Malek. This gives an average number of goals per game equal to 3.
The last league game featuring the two was Arabian Gulf League match day 4 on 28/09/2023 which ended up with the score at Sharjah 2-3 Al-Ain.
📰 Team News: Al-Ain
Nearly everyone is up for selection, with just one fitness concern for the Al-Ain boss Hernan Crespo to contend with from an otherwise complete squad. 2 (Al-Ain FC) is sidelined.
ℹ️ Team News: Sharjah
Due to a mostly available group, there’s only the sole fitness issue for the Sharjah boss Cosmin Olăroiu to be concerned with. 5 (Sharjah FC) misses out for this game.
⚡ Prediction
We envisage that Al-Ain have it within them to be able to create a good number of chances & successful shots on target.
However, Sharjah will not find it easy to find the back of the net although we do think it’s probable that they will be managing to get on the scoresheet.
Therefore, we are anticipating a pretty comfortable 3-1 winning margin for Al-Ain at the end of the 90 minutes.
