Al Khaleej hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 4 points and a 14th position in the Uae League table. Visiting Al Ain holds 5th place with 21 pts.
Al Khaleej and Al Ain should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

It's been an uphill battle for Al Khaleej in their home games for quite some time now, as five matches in a row are lost here. Not since the Hatta game have they avoided the disappointment of defeat.
