Al-Wasl FC vs Al-Ittihad Kalba FC Prediction: Wasl have the home advantage

Al-Wasl have recently dipped in form but we expect a different dynamic as they prepare to welcome Al-Ittihad Kalba to the Zabeel Stadium on Thursday. Al-Ittihad Kalba have also had their fair share of struggles in the league this season and we believe both teams are evenly matched for this encounter. Our prediction is on the goals option. Let’s analyze both teams’ forms, key stats, and my expert opinion.

Al-Wasl FC (7th)

Form in the League: LDWLW

Al-Wasl started the new year with a scintillating 6-0 victory against Al-Oruba but they faltered a little in the second league game of the year against a struggling Baniyas FC which ended in a goalless draw. Furthermore, they also went ahead to suffer another defeat to Al-Sharjah in their last league game which ended in a 0-1 defeat. Al-Wasl must seize this opportunity and get back to winning ways. Fabio Lima continues to lead Al-Wasl in goals this season with 5 goals to his name. 

Their overall league stats are 4 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses from a total of 13 league games played. Al-Wasl is also doing well in the AFC Champions League as they’ve won three games, with 2 draws and a loss from the 6 games played so far in the competition. 

Al-Ittihad Kalba FC (8th)

Form in the League: LLWDD

Al-Ittihad Kalba is currently 8th placed in the league this season as they continue to fight for a top 4 place. They’ve recently suffered two consecutive league defeats with their most recent league game against Baniyas ending in a 0-1 defeat. They’ll be hoping for a more positive outcome when they take on Al-Wasl on Wednesday. Their overall league statistics are 4 wins, 5 draws, and 4 losses from 13 games played.
