The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Al Wahda are in the 6th position while the guests worry at 14th.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

Al Khaleej are travelling after their nice 4-2 home win in the Arabian Gulf Cup against Al Ain (placed 3rd). A 0-0 draw at Shabab Al Ahli Dubai's stadium before that.
What a finish in the last match, as Al Khaleej came back from being down 0-2 and secured all three points through Bismark in the 88th minute.
