A trophy cabinet can never have too much silverware and both Al Nasr and Al Dhafra know what's at stake in this second leg of the Arabian Gulf Cup Quarter-finals clash.
It's no vacation for neither Nasr nor Al Dhafra as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Al Nasr form and stats
Last season their Arabian Gulf Cup adventure ended in the 5th-8th place play-offs.1 victory, 0 draws and 3 defeats. That’s what Al Nasr have to build on here at Zabeel Stadium in the Uae League.
Darboe was the last player to score a league goal for Al Nasr and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Al Nasr haven't scored in 236 minutes.
Al Nasr are returning here after guesting Al Dhafra in a Arabian Gulf Cup game and winning with a 3-0 scoreline.
Before that, a strong away victory at City. A Presidents Cup match.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Nasr, as the Uae League home game vs Dibba Al Fujairah is only four days away.
Al Nasr have conceded 7 from these games.
Al Dhafra form and stats
Dhafra's mission in Arabian Gulf Cup last season failed in the lower table round.The story so far for the visiting team on their Uae League travels is 0 wins, 0 draws and 6 defeats.
This match can not go any worse than the previous one, a Arabian Gulf Cup home loss versus Al Nasr with 0-3 on the scoreboard.
A home win as predicted against Baynounah SC ahead of that, in the Presidents Cup.
After this away game Al Dhafra return home for a Uae League game against Ajman. That game is only four sleeps after this.
The attacking power of Al Dhafra when travelling is not overwhelming with 5 goals scored from 6 league matches away. There are big problems for the Al Dhafra defense as they have conceded 26 goals in 6 away games.
Head 2 Head
Al Dhafra - Nasr 0-3 was the story when these two teams formerly played each other, some time ago this season. H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Al Nasr five wins, three draws and Al Dhafra two victories. As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five games had two or less.
