Al-Orooba FC vs Al-Sharjah FC Prediction: A must-win for Sharjah

Al-Sharjah have now suffered two consecutive league defeats in their last two league games, and they’ve been demoted to the second position in the UAE pro league table. These two consecutive league defeats cost them the top spot on the league table, and they’ll now be hoping for a positive outcome as they prepare to take on Al-Orooba at the Sur Sports Complex Stadium for the 17th round of matches in the UAE Pro League. Orooba continues to languish at the bottom of the league table, and they might be edging towards another defeat on Friday. For me, I believe Sharjah cannot let their guard down, not after their sad defeat to Ittihad Kalba and Batae, and it’ll be a victory or a draw for Sharjah. Let’s analyze both teams’ forms, their key stats, and my expert opinion.

Al-Orooba FC (14th)

Form in the League: LLLLL

Al-Orobah continues to suffer in the league, and a good look at their opponents on Friday only tells us it’s going to go from bad to worse for Orooba. They’ve consecutively suffered defeats in their last 11 league game,s and we know what’s coming for them on Friday at the Sur Sports Complex stadium. They are currently 14th placed in the league with a win and 16 losses from the 17 league games they’ve played. 

Al-Sharjah FC (2nd)

Form in the League: LLWWW

Al-Sharjah have lost their position at the top of the league table after suffering two consecutive league defeats in their last two league games. They are now 7 points behind current league leaders Shabab Al-Ahli Dubai. Their last league game against Bataeh ended in a narrow 0-1 defeat to Sharjah. they tried their best to get a goal in that game, but all efforts were futile. 

Friday presents another opportunity for Sharjah to get back to winning ways, and players like Caio and Ousmane Camara lead the team's attack; they are a deadly duo. Caio is the top scorer for Sharjah with 8 goals this season. Al-Sharjah is currently second-placed in the league table with 12 wins, a draw, and 3 losses from 16 games played.
