In this week 20 match, on Monday Apr 4th, Emirates will host Al Wahda in a clash of these two extremely mismatched UAE League teams. Emirates sits at 14th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 2-1 win against Khor Fakkan. da Silva Neves scored the first goal for Emirates in the 26th minute, then Joseph Gnadou added another in the 48th minute. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 9 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, Al Wahda recorded a 0-3 loss against Al Jazira. Milos Kosanovic struck first for Al Jazira in the 52nd minute on a penalty shot, then Zayed Abdulla Al Ameri added another in the 75th minute on a feed from Almemari At the end of 90 a dissapointed Al Wahda couldn’t manage to score, and Al Jazira took the shutout win. Al Wahda should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 18 points in their last 10 matches.
On the 23rd of October, Al Wahda hosted Emirates at the Al-nahyan Stadium in their last match together. Al Wahda won by a score of 4 to 1.
