Dibba Al Fujairah vs Al Jazira tips and predictions

Hosts written off too soon?

This is one of those games where there is no debating that the away side is better in every facet of the game. But even if they end up scoring nine goals, the short odds cannot be recommended.

Dibba Al Fujairah backers can take something from the recent results of both teams. The hosts have secured 12 home wins from their last 20 games. Less impressively than they'd have wanted the travelling side has been defeated in 1 of their last 3 matches, away and at home. For a team so short in the betting, perhaps they'd be expected to have done better than this.

Dibba Al Fujairah need to accept that their chances are likely to come against the run of play. If the hosts do the unthinkable it will be due to the self-belief developed in their recent goal tally. On their own turf they have looked powerful. Their recent 20 home matches have seen them hitting the net an average of 2.0 times per game and the rest of the squad has also been in form. In their current run they have kept a clean sheet in 7 of their last 19 home games.

Al Jazira have conceded two or more goals in all of their last 6 matches. It seems like clutching at straws but there could be something here. If these numbers prove significant you are likely to see the home team pick holes in their defence. It could be a case of so near and yet so far, but they really can do this.

Al Jazira will be keen to further justify their short price with a clean sheet at full-time. The No BTTS bet seems to be the best idea for this one.
