Al Wasl and Al Ittihad Kalba have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the Uae League.
- Al Wasl is in the best form (4-2-0)
- Al Ittihad Kalba has the fewest matches over the total-line (4) in Uae League
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.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Al Ittihad Kalba have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 10-17-16 (win-draw-loss) from 43 matches.
Al Wasl form and stats
With 2 Uae League wins, 1 draw and 4 defeats from their home games, Al Wasl are certainly not brimming with confidence.
The Al Wasl fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 11 goals in 7 league matches. Wasl have conceded 15 goals in these home games, a significant number.
Al Ittihad Kalba form and stats
4 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses. That’s the product of Al Ittihad Kalba playing as the away team in the Uae League this season. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Ittihad have lost on their last two travels.
As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Al Jazira was particularly ugly (0-6). The humiliation is still top of mind.
Ittihad have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 8 league away games 8 goals have been scored. As opposed to that, Ittihad have seen the ball go into their own net 8 times on the road.

These teams' last encounter with each other was the Al Ittihad Kalba - Wasl 0-3 earlier this season. Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Wasl won six games, three matches ended with a draw and Al Ittihad Kalba has one win. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: four / sixTop Goalscorers
