Crucial duel in the lower part of the Uae League, with both Emirates and Al Ittihad Kalba feeling more worry than bliss. This match is a real "six-pointer" with the home side at 14th and the visiting team in 10th spot.

Insights:
  • Emirates have the fewest scored goals (5) in Uae League
  • Al Ittihad Kalba have scored at least twice as many goals away as Emirates have scored home.

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.

10-13-16 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Al Ittihad Kalba when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 39 matches are 44-52 (scored/conceded).

Emirates form and stats

There have been more unhappy faces than points at this arena so far this season, with Emirates yet to win or draw a Uae League game here. The sad story at Emirates Club Stadium is: Emirates played 4 games, lost 4 games. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in ten attempts.

Emirates's last game was hosting Al Urooba (placed 13th) and winning 1-0.

Heartbreak before that as Emirates lost 1-3 at Bani Yas's place.

The lack of attacking qualities in Emirates means that they have only scored 0 goals in 4 league home games, less than half a goal per match. Emirates have conceded 9 goals in these home games, a significant number.
