Khorfakkan vs Al Ain tips and predictions

Khorfakkan earning respect in this clash

It's possible that one of these sides has a potential weakness at the back. If that materialises it could be exploited here. If you're a neutral you could be in for a treat.

This might be hard to swallow for fans of the visiting team, but they are just too short to back.

Khorfakkan can take some encouragement from the results they've posted leading up to this clash. The hosts have reached 3 home wins from their last 5 games while the visitors have been beaten in their last 3 matches, home or away. For such a short priced team, perhaps they'd be expected to have done better than this.

If Khorfakkan can have any influence on the destiny of the match, it will have a lot to do with their growing goal tally. The home players are finding some form on their own patch. They have scored three or more goals in 4 of their recent 8 home matches.

Lately Al Ain have lacked the right stuff at the back. They have conceded two or more goals in 6 of their last 7 matches. If there are genuine concerns, maybe they have crept into performances at the other end of the pitch. The visitors have scored one or less goals in all of their last 3 matches. Maybe they won't present the threat on goal they have done before.

The betting markets suggest that neither side will keep a clean sheet during this match despite the favouritism for Al Ain. Whatever happens, with the odds-against price on BTTS No, that makes more sense for this particular encounter.
