Al Ain vs Shabab Al Ahli Dubai Match Preview

Al Ain is ranked at the 5th spot with 21 points and comes after two wins two draws and a loss in the last five matches. They play a very important game here as in case of a win they could reach the second spot and also shorten the distance for the title to just two points. So I expect to see a motivated team and determined to do well in order to avoid defeat by all means. At their home, they won only two out of five so far, but they managed to score eight goals in these games. With 26 goals in 11 games they have the best attack in the league averaging at least two goals per game.

Shabab Al Ahli Dubai , on the other side, is ranked at the first spot with 26 points. They come in better shape as they are unbeaten in the last five matches, recording four wins and just a draw. So far they have lost just once, making them the team with the fewest losses. They have also scored 26 goals in total and in the last five games they scored 13 goals averaging almost three goals per game. On the road, they have been less brilliant than in front of their fans as they scored just six goals in five games. But now they face a direct rival so I guess the team should have a different approach and try to attack more.

In conclusion, I think both teams should score a goal here. Al Ain at home has scored at least a goal in eight out of nine games this season in all competitions and I expect from them nothing different here. While Shabab Al Ahli Dubai has found the back of the net in seven out of nine occasions. BTTS is my call.
