Al Ain is showing exceptional form this season, remaining undefeated with a record of 14 wins and 5 draws, sitting top of the table. The visiting team has an impressive 80% away win rate and has not lost a single away match all season. In their last five matches, Al Ain scored 10 goals while conceding just 5, earning 2.6 points per game. Al Wahda, on the other hand, is going through a form crisis, losing three of their last five fixtures and picking up only 0.8 points per game. Despite a decent efficiency at home (60% win rate), the hosts have significantly poorer current form, which could prove decisive when facing the league leaders. The higher average xG for Al Ain (1.76 vs 1.64) and a better average of goals scored on the road (2.2) further support an away victory.
