Insights:
  • Al Urooba have the most conceded goals (45) in Uae League
  • Al Jazira have the fewest matches over the total-line (1) in Uae League

There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Arabian Gulf Cup game only three days ago. That game, against Al Ain, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Al Jazira.

Al Urooba form and stats

With 1 Uae League win, 5 draws and 3 defeats from their home games, Al Urooba are certainly not brimming with confidence.

An away draw last time out for Al Urooba, facing Al Ain in a game that ended 1-1.

Ahead of that match, Al Urooba lost 0-3 at home to Ajman.

Al Urooba are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 13 goals in 9 games. Urooba are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (21 from 9 played). When Al Urooba hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Khorfakkan Club, Al Dhafra, Emirates and Al Ittihad Kalba), the matches have ended over 2.5 goals 3 of 3 times.

Al Jazira form and stats

There's been little loot from Al Jazira's travels as they have only collected 8 points from 8 away games in the Uae League. Al Jazira only have 2 wins to counter their 4 defeats and 2 draws.

Jazira have succeeded in guarding their own goal lately, led by their goalkeeper Abdullrahman Al Ameri. It's been 222 minutes since they last conceded in Uae League.

A home win before that, celebrating 1-0 vs Al Sharjah.

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

The visiting Al Jazira have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 10 goals from 8 games. It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As opposed to that, Al Jazira have seen the ball go into their own net 9 times on the road.

Head 2 Head
