This match features two teams living in the basement of the Pro League, Al Fateh holding 13th place and Al-Ain lying 16th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
- Al Fateh has the fewest points (5) at home in Pro League
- Al-Ain has the most conceded goals (35) in Pro League
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
These teams have little in common geographically as Al-Ain have to travel 1200 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Al Fateh form and stats
Al Fateh's results here at Prince Abdullah bin Jalawi Sports City Stadium in the Pro League have been very modest with 1 victory, 2 draws and 5 defeats.
Prior to that, an away loss at Al Ittihad.
The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Fateh matches with similar probabilities have ended with zero wins, zero draws and one defeat (from one game).
The manager Y. Ferrera will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Al Shabab in only four days.
Fateh has scored 10 league goals at home this season, in 8 matches. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Fateh with 17 goals conceded in these matches.
Al-Ain form and stats
Al-Ain, who have the most conceded goals (35) in Pro League, have only collected 4 points from their away games in the Pro League, after 1-1-5 (7 played). Three consecutive losses in away matches means Al-Ain are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.
Al-Ain failed to get anything from their last game, a Pro League home match vs Al Hilal (placed 2nd) that ended with defeat 0-5. A home win before that, celebrating 1-0 vs Al Ittifaq.
Al-Ain lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-5 beating and focus on this one.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Al-Ain manager P. Machín Díez as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Al Ahli Jeddah.
The attacking power of Al-Ain when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 7 league matches away. Al-Ain's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 11 goals from these trips. It's worth mentioning that 7 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
