Struggling Hatta will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Al Ain in the upcoming league round. It’s 12th vs 2nd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
Hatta and Al Ain should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Hatta form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Uae League this season. Hatta have only managed 1 win, 2 draws and 4 losses from their games here at Sheikh Hamdan Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Stadium.
Hatta enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Al Ittihad Kalba's place. The match ended 1-0 with Cleylton scoring. In the match before that, Hatta hosted Al Khaleej and drew the game 1-1.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Hatta here at Sheikh Hamdan Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Stadium in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (6 from 7 games). Hatta have conceded 12 from these games.
Al Ain form and stats
Al Ain's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Al Ain, who have the most scored goals (40) in Uae League, collect 19 points from their 8 away matches in the Uae League. 6 victories and 1 draw have created these points (and only 1 defeat).
