Sharjah FC v Shabab Al-Ahli Dubai FC prediction

What to expect

We expect about 0.8 goals from Sharjah FC and 2.7 from Shabab Al-Ahli Dubai FC, so Shabab Al-Ahli Dubai FC come out ahead by a clear distance rather than a nose. Put together, that is around 3.5 goals in the game, and a match we expect to open up at both ends.

Shabab Al-Ahli Dubai FC come into this on four straight wins. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.

Our pick: Shabab Al-Ahli Dubai FC to win. Shabab Al-Ahli Dubai FC shade this one on the numbers (xG 0.7-2.7), and we make them about 78% to win. They look the better bet on the road, and backing them outright is the straightforward way in.

We put the chance of that landing at about 76 out of 100. The price on offer is 2.15, which works out at about 47 out of 100. That gap is the whole reason this is on the site: we rate it more likely than the price does, and the price looks good to us because of it.
