Al-Dhafra's recent form shows a mixed bag, with a 'win-loss-win' pattern in their last four matches. Their attack averages 1.67 goals per game, relying on the finishing abilities of Gudmundsson and Rayan. Defensively, they concede 2 goals per game, with issues primarily away from home but showing stability at home. Key results include a 3-0 home win against Kalba on December 7th, highlighting efficient attacking, a 2-4 loss to Al Jazira on December 21st exposing defensive vulnerabilities away, and a narrow 2-1 home victory over Ajman, demonstrating resilience. Banni Yas has struggled this season, with only one win in their last ten matches, significantly impacting their ability to gain points. Their attack is weak, averaging only 0.67 goals per game, with their sole victory being a 2-0 home win against Dibba Al Hisn. Al-Dhafra is expected to adopt an 'attack-minded, weak-defence' approach, leveraging the attacking prowess of Khalil Ibrahim and Karim Berkaoui. Rayan Mohamed in midfield will contribute to the attack, potentially reducing the midfield's defensive coverage. Banni Yas, known for midfield control and wing play, will target the space between Al-Dhafra's midfield and defence. This tactical approach could lead to a high-scoring game. Banni Yas's 4-2-3-1 formation, which emphasises wing play and midfield support, suits Al-Dhafra's defensive weaknesses. Joao Victor, the Brazilian defender, who has a goal in the last five games, will push up the flanks. Midfielders Fawaz Awana and Mozgovoy are good passers, ideal for finding forwards in the box. Al-Dhafra's ageing defence may struggle against Banni Yas's flexible forwards and wing play, leading to defensive errors and scoring opportunities for Banni Yas. The match is expected to see more than 2 goals. Over 2.75 goals are predicted for the match.
