📊 Form Guide
Baniyas
WLLLWL
Baniyas will be hoping to return to winning ways here after a 3-1 Arabian Gulf League defeat in their last game at the hands of Al-Wahda.
The only name on the scoresheet from Baniyas was Taulant Seferi (53'). Omar Kharbin (9', 97') was the scorer for Al-Wahda.
It’s not been often in recent games where Baniyas have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. In fact, Baniyas have seen their defence breached in 6 of their previous 6 clashes, leaking 9 goals on the way. It will be interesting to see if that trend will be sustained here.
Sharjah
DWLDDD
In their last game, Sharjah drew 3-3 in the Arabian Gulf League tie with Emirates.
The stats don’t lie, and Sharjah have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, seeing opposing sides hit 9 goals overall. Defensively, Sharjah could really do with shoring things up.
🤜🤛 Head to head
A review of their past head to head results stretching back to 03/04/2021 reveals that these fixtures have ended in disappointment for Baniyas. They have not managed to register any wins at all whereas Sharjah have been too good for them, running out winners in 83 per cent of those matches played.
A combined sum of 21 goals were scored between the two sides in these games, with 1 for The Sky Blues and 20 being from Al Malek. That’s an average goals per game figure of 3.5.
The previous league clash between these sides was Arabian Gulf League match day 6 on 28/10/2023 and the score finished Sharjah 5-0 Baniyas.
ℹ️ Team News: Baniyas
There’s just a single fitness concern for the Baniyas gaffer Darko Milanič to be concerned about due to a largely intact set of players. 10 (FC Baniyas) is out of contention.
📋 Team News: Sharjah
In an otherwise full-strength group, there’s only the lone fitness problem for the Sharjah manager Cosmin Olăroiu to be concerned about. 5 (Sharjah FC) won’t be playing here.
⚡ Prediction
In this game, Sharjah will probably get a lot of shots on goal and make them count.
However, Baniyas may well find it hard to score, although we do think that it’s probable they’ll be hitting back at some stage here.
We’re therefore expecting to see a 1-3 win for Sharjah at the end of this one.
