It's advantage Al-Ain so far with their 2nd position in the Division 1 table, welcoming Al Khaleej who are placed 12th.
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.
It's quite the trip for Al Khaleej when visiting Al-Ain as the cities are 1900 kilometers apart.
