Summary
Al Wahda takes on Al Dhafra in a UAE Pro League encounter that has historically leaned heavily in Wahda’s favor. The hosts have dominated recent head-to-heads, while Al Dhafra aim to upset the odds under coach Zeljko Petrovic after their morale-boosting win over Al Wasl.
Form Guide
Al Wahda: The Abu Dhabi side are unbeaten in their last five games, with strong away wins over Ajman (2-0) and Al Bataeh (3-1). Their only stumble came in a 2-2 home draw vs Al Jazira, but they remain in strong form under José Morais.
Al Dhafra: Show flashes of resilience but remain inconsistent. They recently held Dibba Al Fujairah (1-1) and stunned Al Wasl 3-1, but defeats to Ajman (2-1) and Shabab Al Ahli (2-0) highlight defensive vulnerabilities.
Team News
Al Wahda: Coach José Morais is expected to field a strong lineup. Big names like Caio Canedo, Dusan Tadic, and Omar Khrbin provide attacking firepower. In midfield, Lucas Vera and Jadsom control the tempo, while defender Lucas Pimenta adds solidity at the back.
Al Dhafra: Boss Zeljko Petrovic will rely on the experienced Karim El Berkaoui and Rodriguinho in attack. New signing Johann Berg Gudmundsson adds creativity, while Ze Welinton marshals the defense. Goalkeeper Prince Hally is expected to retain his spot.
Match Preview
Al Wahda enters this clash full of confidence, boasting a superior record against Al Dhafra and one of the most dangerous attacks in the league. The likes of Tadic and Khrbin have consistently delivered in front of goal.
Al Dhafra, however, will take encouragement from their upset against Al Wasl and the tactical structure provided by Zeljko Petrovic. They must remain compact defensively while hoping for counter-attacking opportunities through El Berkaoui and Gudmundsson.
Given their recent dominance and depth, Wahda remain firm favorites, but Al Dhafra’s fighting spirit could make this tighter than expected.
