👥 Head to head

A sum of 18 goals were scored between them throughout the course of those matches, with 13 of them for Al Malek and 5 being from The Falcons. That’s an average goals per game figure of 3.

The previous league fixture between the two was Arabian Gulf League match day 5 on 08/10/2023 and the score finished Emirates 1-3 Sharjah.

🗞️ Team News: Sharjah

There aren’t many personnel worries, with just the sole fitness concern for the Sharjah gaffer Cosmin Olăroiu to be concerned with from an otherwise fully-primed set of players. 5   (Sharjah FC) will miss out.

🗞️ Team News: Emirates

Out of a mainly available squad, there is only the one fitness worry for the Emirates gaffer Walter Zenga to contend with. 13   (Emirates Club ) won’t be playing here.
