Form Guide
Emirates
LLWLDD
Emirates go into this game following a 1-1 Arabian Gulf League draw versus Hatta.
The only name on the scoresheet from Emirates was Dia Sabia (84').
It has been seldom in recent games that Emirates have kept a clean sheet. It will be a concern for them that Emirates have been scored against in 6 of their previous 6 matches, shipping 11 goals in the process. In any event, weโll just have to find out whether such a trend will be sustained in this next match.
Al-Wahda
WWDWLL
Since tasting defeat last time out to Ajman in Arabian Gulf League action, Al-Wahda will be hoping to turn things around here.
The only scorer from Al-Wahda was Omar Kharbin (6').
The stats tell the story, and Al-Wahda have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, conceding 9 goals overall. In defence, Al-Wahda have clearly had some problems.

Head to head
An examination of past results between these clubs stretching back to 16/03/2018 reveals that these fixtures have been pretty painful for Emirates. Theyโve not been able to get any victories whatsoever while Al-Wahda have remained in the ascendancy, beating them in 100 per cent of those ties.
There were also plenty of goals scored in those games, 25 overall which averages out at 4.17 goals per meeting.
The last league meeting featuring these clubs was Arabian Gulf League match day 8 on 25/11/2023 when it ended Al-Wahda 4-1 Emirates.

Prediction
In this match, Al-Wahda are likely to be able to create a good number of chances & successful shots on target.
Conversely, Emirates will not find it easy scoring goals of their own but we do fancy them converting at least once here.
Weโre therefore anticipating a controlled 1-3 winning score for Al-Wahda when allโs said and done.
