Season ticket holders at Rashid Al-Maktoum Stadium haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Al Nasr languishing in the 11th position so far. The guesting Al Wasl will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago. Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game! This is a local derby, usually meaning added tension and importance.
Al Nasr form and stats
When playing at home, Al Nasr, who have the fewest scored goals (8) at home in Uae League, have managed 3 wins, 2 draws and suffered 3 defeats from 8 games. All in all it has been a very rough period for Al Nasr who hasn’t won a game in their last eleven attempts. Their previous win was against Bani Yas. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.The fans are hoping that Al Nasr will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the Uae League game against Dibba Al Fujairah. Before that, Al Nasr drew at home versus Shabab Al Ahli Dubai.
This is expected to be a close game, with Al Nasr perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Al Nasr as a small favourite), we find two games. Al Nasr has won 0 of these, drawn 0 and lost 2.
Al Nasr has scored 8 goals at home this season, in 8 matches. Al Nasr's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 8 times.
