Al Urooba form and stats

Al Urooba's struggle is real here at Al-Fujairah Stadium with only 8 points collected from 10 Uae League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-5-4. The Al Urooba manager Labidi might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.

Al Urooba experienced an unpredictable loss 0-1 against Al Jazira in their previous outing, also a home game.

Before that, Urooba played out a draw 1-1 when visiting Al Ain.

The Al Urooba fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 13 in 10 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Urooba are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (22 from 10 played).
