Al-Dhafra

LDDWLL

Al-Dhafra will be looking for an improved result here after the 3-1 Arabian Gulf League defeat in their last game at the hands of Baniyas.

Al-Dhafra have found it difficult to unlock defences in more recent games. Their goals record stands at just 4 vs opposition teams during the course of their last 6 matches. In those games, The Western Knights have also seen the number of goals that have gone against them total 8. That sort of trend might not be continued into this game, however.

Heading into this fixture, Al-Dhafra have not registered a win against Al-Wasl in their previous 3 matches in the league.
