This match features two teams living in the basement of the Pro League, Al-Ain holding 16th place and Al Wahda lying 14th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
- Al-Ain have the fewest scored goals (26) in Pro League
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
Al-Ain form and stats
With 3 Pro League wins, 2 draws and 7 defeats from their home games, Al-Ain, who have the fewest scored goals (26) in Pro League, are certainly not brimming with confidence. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.
In their previous game, the manager P. Machín Díez led his Al-Ain to a defeat in the Kings Cup match away at Al Nassr. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at South Fork High School Soccer Field. Preceding that game was the away draw at Al Quadisiya that finished 3-3.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Al-Ain have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found six matches with the results: Won two, drawn one and lost three.
Al-Ain has scored 14 league goals at home this season, in 12 matches. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Al-Ain with 26 goals conceded in these matches.
Al Wahda form and stats
Playing away, Al Wahda have won 5 games, drawn 2 and suffered 5 defeats in the Pro League this season. It's looking increasingly bleak for Al Wahda who now has to deal with a five game losing streak. Al Raed was the last time a defeat was avoided. Al Wahda seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
Wahda failed to get anything from their last game, a Pro League home match vs Abha (placed 9th) that ended with defeat 1-4. A 2-4 loss hosting Al Hilal before that.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found eight similar matches played by Wahda in our archives, and the results are: four wins for Al Wahda, two draws and two defeats.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Wahda have scored 17 goals in 12 league games away. In the opposite end, Wahda have conceded 19 goals in their away games.
