Last season, Fujairah's Arabian Gulf Cup journey ended in the quarter-finals.The story so far in the Uae League for Al Fujairah at their home stadium (Al-Fujairah Stadium) is 3 wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Fujairah to get some points in this home game. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Al Fujairah, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
The Fujairah crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-3 to Al Sharjah here at Al-Fujairah Stadium in a Uae League match. Heartbreak before that as Fujairah lost 1-2 at Al Ain's place.

Ajman's previous game was their home loss versus Shabab Al Ahli Dubai (2-5). A 0-1 defeat away at Al Wahda before that.
A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Ajman, as mentioned above. 7 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?
