Emirates welcomes Al Ain to this second leg of the Arabian Gulf Cup 1st Round. It's time to find a winner and both teams know what is needed.
Emirates have less rest than Al Ain in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Uae League game only three days ago. That game was an away game at Al Wahda, so at least Emirates are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Emirates was eliminated in the quarter-finals last season in the Arabian Gulf Cup.Three Uae League home games done for Emirates, who are not happy collecting 0 points from these matches. There's also a terrible streak running regardless of playing venue as Emirates have lost seven games in a row.
