17:15 Al Wasl – Al Ain

Al-Wasl F.C. won 1-0 the last time when these two teams met at “Zabeel Stadium” (Al-Wasl F.C. – Al Ain FC 1-0 on 09.01.2015), but in match for the Emirates Cup, while now the things are slightly different.

UAE Arabian Gulf League is priority for Al Ain FC and while this team started with many reserve players in the previous visit here, now the Whites will use all important players.

Al-Wasl F.C. is in the middle of the standings in this league (8th position), with good advantage in front of the teams in the relegation zone, but already without chances for a place at Top 3.

The Yellow-Blacks won only twice in their previous six games at “Zabeel Stadium” this season (2-2-2 10-12), as those two victories came against mediocre teams like Al-Ittihad Kalba SC (1-0) and Al-Fujairah SC (3-1).

Al Ain FC, on the other hand, is among the main contenders for the title (2nd position / 9-3-1 34-12) and what is even more important – the visitors showed good football in the previous five rounds, winning four of those five encounters, while one match ended with draw (4-1-0 14-3).
