Baniyas vs Al-Ain Live Stream, Predictions (Apr 22)

📊 Form Guide

Baniyas

DWLLWL

Baniyas will be looking for an improved result here after a 2-4 UAE Pro League losing effort in their last game against Dibba Al Hisn.

The only scorer from Baniyas was Youssouf Niakaté (3', 52'). Pierre Kunde (58', 68') and Alioune Ndour (90') scored for Dibba Al Hisn.

It’s been seldom in recent games that Baniyas have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. The facts show that Baniyas have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 matches, shipping 12 goals during that time. That kind of pattern won’t necessarily be carried forward here, though.

Al-Ain

LLLLDW

Al-Ain go into this meeting after a 3-0 UAE Pro League win over Al-Urooba in their previous game.

For Al-Ain, the scorers were Kodjo Fo-Doh Laba (48'), Matías Palacios (53') and Sékou Gassama (64').

Throughout their 6 most recent matches, Vladimir Ivić's Al-Ain have managed to stick the ball in the net a total of 6 times - giving them a goals per game average of 1.

↔️ Head to head

Delving into their past head to head meetings going back to 18/02/2022 shows that these fixtures have been miserable for Baniyas. They’ve not been able to register any victories whatsoever while Al-Ain have been too good for them, beating them in 67 per cent of those games where they have faced each other.

A sum of 20 goals were produced between them in this period, with 6 from The Sky Blues and 14 belonging to Al Zaeem. That’s an average goals per game of 3.33.

The last league encounter featuring these sides was UAE Pro League match day 9 on 07/12/2024 when it ended Al-Ain 4-0 Baniyas.

✨ Prediction

We’re of the view that Baniyas will likely be able to put one past this Al-Ain outfit, although just one goal likely won’t be as many as they will have scored against them.

Our selection here is for a close game with a 1-2 win for Al-Ain at the end of the match. Looking forward to this.
