Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Al Khaleej & Al Sharjah face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Presidents Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Al Khaleej form and stats
Last season their Presidents Cup adventure ended in the 8th finals.When playing at home in the Uae League, Al Khaleej have managed 0 wins, 2 draws and suffered 2 defeats from 4 games. Khaleej have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.
Preceding that game was the home draw versus Al Sharjah that ended 1-1.
The game against Hatta had lots of late drama as Khaleej came back from being down 0-2 and finally secured the victory through Ramon Lopes's goal in the 90th minute. Some amazing scenes last match, when Ramon Lopes scored the winning goal three minutes into stoppage time.
The Al Khaleej fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 4 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 6 goals have been conceded.

Before that, Sharjah travelled to Al Khaleej and returned home with a draw after the Uae League game finished 1-1.
