Al Sharjah vs Bani Yas tips and predictions

Al Sharjah might not have things all their own way

There's not much between Al Sharjah and Bani Yas in the Pro League Cup. The hosts are in second place with 8 points, compared to their opponents who are in fourth place on 4 points.

The short price for Al Sharjah renders them unbackable. Bani Yas don't look likely get the job done but they can make a match of it. Building on the strong rearguard performances of both sides, a goalless stalemate is the pick but it's certainly not something to get carried away about.

These sides have impressed at the back. Denying their recent opponents, Al Sharjah haven't conceded during their most recent 3 home matches and Bani Yas have only conceded 0.7 goals per game on average in their last 3 away matches.

In previous matches in this head-to-head 2 of the last 4 have been draws.

The sportsbooks have forecasted goals at both ends of the park despite the favouritism for Al Sharjah. Nevertheless the odds-against for the No BTTS is actually the standout from that market.

Al Sharjah have drawn 8 of their last 19 matches, most recently when they drew 0-0 with Shabab Al-Ahli Dubai last Sunday. Bani Yas have drawn 7 of their last 20 away games. To wrap this up there is nothing to like about the home or away win odds. Stalemate beckons after what looks set to be a close encounter.
