Al Fujairah are welcoming Al Dhafra for another important game after their 1-2 result against 3rd-placed Bani Yas.

Insights:
  • Al Fujairah has the most dropped points from leading position (17) in Uae League

Al Fujairah form and stats

Al Fujairah's results here at Al-Fujairah Stadium in the Uae League have been very modest with 2 victories, 1 draw and 4 defeats. It's trouble wherever Fujairah are playing these days as they have suffered five straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways.

The fans are hoping that Fujairah will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the Uae League game against Bani Yas (placed 3rd). A defeat was the result before that one, 2-3 away at Al Sharjah.

Fujairah are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 9 goals in 7 games. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Fujairah with 15 goals conceded in these matches.

Al Dhafra form and stats

Al Dhafra have only collected 3 points from their away games in the Uae League, after 0-3-4 (7 played). With two straight losses from their last two away games, Dhafra are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

Al Dhafra failed to get anything from their last game, a Uae League home match vs Al Jazira (placed 2nd) that ended with defeat 1-5. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Ajman wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

Dhafra lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 1-5 beating and focus on this one.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Al Sharjah in just four days.

The attacking power of Dhafra when travelling is not overwhelming with 5 goals scored from 7 league matches away. The Dhafra manager M. Kwid has some worries about the defense as 16 goals have been conceded in these travels.
