The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Al Orooba U21 so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 1-2-4 (win-draw-lose). The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Al Orooba U21 have lost on their last two travels.

Orooba had fun at their own home (Al Maktoum Stadium) last time out, beating Al Wahda U21 1-0.

A 0-5 defeat away at Al Dhafra U21 before that.

The attacking power of Al Orooba U21 when travelling is not overwhelming with 4 goals scored from 7 league matches away. The Orooba defense is as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle, having conceded 23 goals in their away games.
