It's early days in the Uae League and both Al Ittihad Kalba and Al Fujairah are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
The hosts Al Ittihad Kalba saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Uae League. Thankfully the previous game, versus Al Wasl, was also a home game here at Ittihad Kalba Club Stadium. The away team is better rested.
This pitch has artifical turf, which is not Al Fujairah's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on artifical turf Al Fujairah have performed like this: Played five matches resulting in 4 wins, 0 draws and 1 defeat with the goal stats 10-5 (scored/conceded).
Al Ittihad Kalba form and stats
Two Uae League home games so far for Al Ittihad Kalba, who are yet to win here at Ittihad Kalba Club Stadium. Only 0 points so far. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Ittihad, their manager J. da Silva Echeverrito and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.
Al Ittihad Kalba haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 180 minutes ago. P. Mlapa scored that one.
The Al Ittihad Kalba crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-3 to Al Wasl here at Ittihad Kalba Club Stadium in a Uae League match. Prior to that, an away loss at Al Jazira.
Ittihad are traveling soon after this match as the Arabian Gulf Cup match at Al Jazira awaits in four days.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Al Ittihad Kalba at home in the league. 0 on target and 6 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
Al Fujairah form and stats
The visitors' first away game in the Uae League ended in defeat. Last season Al Fujairah had these away match statistics: Played 10; won 0, drew 1 and lost 9.
There were no winners in Fujairah's previous match, a Uae League home game that ended 1-1 vs Al Ain (placed 9th). Preceding that game, the 1-3 loss visiting Al Dhafra's place.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Al Fujairah manager G. Tufegdžić as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Ajman.
1 goal so far away for Al Fujairah, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 3. All from 1 league match away.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: two wins for Ittihad, two draws and six wins for Al Fujairah. Over 2,5 goals: six times; under 2,5 goals: four games.Top Goalscorers
