A trophy cabinet can never have too much silverware and both Al Urooba and Al Ittihad Kalba know what's at stake in this second leg of the Arabian Gulf Cup 1st Round clash.
It's no vacation for neither Urooba nor Al Ittihad Kalba 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.
This football field uses the playing surface grass, unlike Al Ittihad Kalba's home arena. The last 39 games by the away team on grass have given 9 wins, 14 draws and 16 losses.

Urooba are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-2 away versus Al Ittihad Kalba.
A Arabian Gulf Cup defeat was the result before that one, 0-4 away at Al Ittihad Kalba.There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Urooba, as the Uae League home game vs Al Sharjah is only three days away.
The Al Urooba fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 3 matches. Defensively there's plenty of potential for improvement as Al Urooba have allowed the opposition to score 8 goals here at Saqr bin Mohammad al Qassimi Stadium.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Ittihad as they have only managed to score 2 times from 3 away games in the league. For Ittihad, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
