Al-Ain form and stats

Al-Ain's struggle is real here at South Fork High School Soccer Field with only 14 points collected from 14 Pro League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 4-2-8. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Al-Ain with their five defeats in a row. Not since the Al Wahda game, 70 days ago, have they avoided a loss.

The fans are hoping that Al-Ain will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the Pro League game against Al Ittihad (placed 3rd). Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at Getterson for missing a penalty kick versus Al Ittihad in the 89th minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome.

Heartbreak before that as Al-Ain lost 1-5 at Al Shabab's place.

Al-Ain has scored 18 league goals at home this season, in 14 matches. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Al-Ain with 28 goals conceded in these matches. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 3 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
