National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Al Sharjah or Hatta that keep their silverware dream alive.
It's no vacation for neither Al Sharjah nor Hatta 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 Sharjah form and stats
Last season their Presidents Cup adventure ended in the semi-finals.The story so far in the Uae League for Al Sharjah at their home stadium is 3 wins, 2 draws and 0 defeats. Al Sharjah haven’t lost a game in twelve attempts regardless of arena, a great achievement. Their last loss was the fixture versus Al Wasl, 225 days ago. The Al Sharjah fans aren't used to losing here and will expect new points from this game. Al Sharjah has played 19 games in a row here without a defeat.
The home supporters saw a 1-1 draw versus Ajman in the Uae League last time out and are looking for a win here. Before that match, a Uae League win away at Al Nasr.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Al Sharjah as they are travelling to their away game against Al Dhafra in the Uae League. That match is four days after this one.
Al Sharjah have proved capable of finding the net in their games here with 8 goals in 5 league matches. From these home matches, Al Sharjah have conceded only 4 goals.
Hatta form and stats
Hatta was sent out of Presidents Cup in the 8th finals last season.Playing away, Hatta have won 1 game, drawn 1 and suffered 3 defeats in the Uae League this season. It's a growing despair in Hatta as they have recorded three consecutive losses.
The manager C. Kontis was unhappy after their last game, a Uae League match played at their home ground Sheikh Hamdan Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Stadium. Hatta suffered a 1-2 loss to Al Nasr. It was a Uae League defeat before that one as the away game against Bani Yas wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Uae League trip to Ajman.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Hatta as they have only managed to score 4 times from 5 away games in the league. As opposed to that, Hatta have seen the ball go into their own net 7 times on the road.
