Struggling Al Khaleej will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Al Sharjah in the upcoming league round. It’s 14th vs 3rd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Al Khaleej form and stats
Al Khaleej's results here in the Uae League have been very modest with 0 victories, 1 draw and 6 defeats. All in all it has been a very rough period for Al Khaleej who hasn’t won a game in their last 13 attempts. Their previous win was against Al-Taawon, 278 days ago. With seven home games in a row without a win, the Al Khaleej fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Al-Taawon game long ago, can be stopped today.
Al Khaleej's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-3 versus Al Ain (placed 2nd). Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Al Ittihad Kalba (2-3).
Al Khaleej are traveling soon after this match as the Uae League match at Hatta awaits in four days.
Al Khaleej has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches in the league: 3 goals from 7 games. Al Khaleej have conceded 15 goals in these home games, a significant number.
Al Sharjah form and stats
Playing away, Al Sharjah have won 4 games, drawn 1 and suffered 2 defeats in the Uae League this season. Three has not been a lucky number for Al Sharjah as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Ajman match. Al Sharjah has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.
Al Sharjah play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 2-3 to Shabab Al Ahli Dubai (placed 1st). A 1-2 loss hosting Al Wahda before that.
A quick return to home after this game, as Al Sharjah are hosting Al Ittihad Kalba in the Uae League only four days away.
Today's guests are confident travelers having scored 18 goals in 7 league games away this season. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Al Sharjah have conceded 11 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
