In this 14th week match, on Fri Jan 27th, Al Nasr and Al Dhafra will play a match in Dubai in a clash of the UAE League. 12th placed Al Nasr is fresh off their 1-1 draw against Al Sharjah. Bin Habib struck first for Al Nasr on an own goal in the 30th minute, but Caio got the equalizer for Al Sharjah in the 79th minute squeezing out at least the one point for Al Sharjah. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 7 of their last 10, while in their last match, Al Dhafra recorded a 2-1 win against Dibba Al Fujairah. Edu scored the first goal for Dibba Al Fujairah in the 16th minute, then Tiago tied it up for Al Dhafra in the 25th minute But fortunately they were able to complete the comaback in the 74th minute on a goal by Claudio. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 6 points in their last 10 matches.
Al Nasr and Al Dhafra last played eachother at the Rashid Al-maktoum Stadium on the 15th of December. Al Nasr was victorious by a score of 2 to 1. Adel Taarabt struck first for Al Nasr in the 40th minute on a feed from Antonio Jose Pinheiro de Carvalho, but Ahmed Fawzi got the equalizer for Al Dhafra in the 71st minute.
Al Dhafra is having problems scoring lately. Their top scorers, Ahmed Fawzi and Mohamed Al Ali each only have 1 goal in their last 5. Adel Taarabt and Omar Jumaa are the top scorers for Al Nasr in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
