This is a vital face-off in the bottom part of the Uae League, with both Al Nasr and Al Bataeh suffering more distress than happiness. This fixture is a typical "six-pointer" with the home team at 12th and the away team in 10th position.

Insights:
  • Al Nasr have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored.
  • Al Bataeh have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
