📊 Form Guide
Sharjah
WLDDDD
Sharjah head into this game after a 1-1 Arabian Gulf League drawn result vs Al-Jazira.
The only player to score from Sharjah was Luanzinho (53'). Oumar Traoré (88') was the scorer for Al-Jazira.
It has been all too rare in recent times where Sharjah have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. The facts show that Sharjah have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, leaking 9 goals on the way. That kind of trend won’t necessarily be continued into this next game, of course.
Al-Bataeh
LWLWWL
Following on from tasting defeat last time out to Al-Nasr in Arabian Gulf League action, Al-Bataeh and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.
Adel Taarabt (65', 72') scored for Al-Nasr.
The numbers tell their own story, and Al-Bataeh have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, with opponents netting 10 goals overall. At the back, Al-Bataeh have clearly had some problems.
🤜🤛 Head to head
The last league clash featuring these clubs was Arabian Gulf League match day 8 on 23/11/2023 when it ended Al-Bataeh 3-3 Sharjah.
🗞️ Team News: Sharjah
Availability isn’t a big problem, with just a single fitness concern for the Sharjah boss Cosmin Olăroiu to contend with from of an almost fully healthy squad. 6 (Sharjah FC) misses out.
📰 Team News: Al-Bataeh
Out of a mainly healthy group of players, there’s just the lone fitness problem for the Al-Bataeh gaffer Goran Tomić to be concerned with. 7 (Al-Bataeh CSC) won’t be playing here.
💡 Prediction
It looks to us that Sharjah have it within them to get a lot of shots on goal and make them count.
In contrast, Al-Bataeh are also probably going to find it difficult to make a breakthrough but we do fancy them converting at least once here, too.
Our tip is for a fairly comfortable 3-1 winning margin for Sharjah when all’s said and done.
