This game involves two teams living in the basement of the Division 1, Al Nahdha holding 18th position and Al-Ain in 20th. A nice chance for one of the squads to boost their situation.
- Al Nahdha have not yet lost a game at home.
- Al-Ain have the the worst goal difference (-9) in Division 1
Al Nahdha and Al-Ain should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Al-Ain have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1200 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
