  • English
  • Arabic

Tonight's match is the 48th time Sharjah and Al Jazira are playing each other, with their first clash coming in 1977-78. Sharjah, who dominated UAE football in the 1990s, have a better record with 17 wins; Jazira have won 15 and drawn 15.
The matches between these two teams have generally been high-scoring with 157 goals in the past 47 games. Sharjah have scored 86, while Jazira have 71. Both teams scored three goals apiece in their first-round wins, so there should be no lack of action tonight. But Jazira have lost just once in their last 30 matches of the Pro League, so the home side will have to come up with something really special to keep their fans celebrating.
