In this week 14 match on Feb 5th, Al Ain hosts Khor Fakkan at Hazza Bin Zayed Stadium in a meeting of these two extremely mismatched UAE League teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 23 degrees, which will be a great treat for players. 1st placed Al Ain is fresh off their 0-2 loss against Al Sharjah. Caio struck first for Al Sharjah in the 11th minute, then Martins Pereira added another in the 18th minute At the end of 90 a dissapointed Al Ain couldn’t manage to score, and Al Sharjah took the shutout win. With 21 points in their last 10 matches Al Ain should be reasonably happy with their performance, while khor Fakkan sits at 11th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 2-2 draw against Al Urooba. Caique struck first for Khor Fakkan in the 8th minute on a feed from de Menezes Melo, but Ahmed Murad got the equalizer for Al Urooba in the 19th minute . They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 4 points in their last 10 matches.
On the 20th of August, Khor Fakkan hosted Al Ain in their last match together. Al Ain was victorious by a score of 3 to 1. Fo-Doh Kodjo Laba struck first for Al Ain in the 37th minute, then Al Hamadi tied it up for Khor Fakkan in the 48th minute.
Douglas Tanque and Walid Abbas Murad Yousuf Al Balooshi are the top scorers for Khor Fakkan in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats. In the last five matches, both Fo-Doh Kodjo Laba and Cristian Guanca are on scoring streaks. They have each scored 4 goals for Al Ain and look to continue their dominance.
