Al Sharjah form and stats
Last season, Al Sharjah's AFC Champions League journey ended in the group stage.As mentioned below, Al Sharjah are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 2 Uae League games. On the other hand, in the AFC Champions League, Al Sharjah has performed like this (both home and away): 3 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss. Sharjah are on a three game winning streak in their home games.
A nice win for Al Sharjah last time playing, versus Al Wasl. That was also a home game and the match ended 3-2 with Caio and B. Malango (2) scoring for the victors. A very satisfying win for Al Sharjah against Al Wasl last time out as a late comeback secured the victory after trailing 0-2. The win was secured through B. Malango's goal in the 90th minute. The victory against Al Wasl came after B. Malango's winning goal. The Sharjah manager A. Al Anberi was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 65th minute. A late climax in the match against Al Wasl as the winning goal came four minutes into overtime; scored by B. Malango.
In the preceding match a 1-0 victory visiting Al Dhafra.The manager A. Al Anberi will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Shabab Al Ahli Dubai in only four days.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Al Sharjah at home in the league. 4 on target and 2 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
