Al-Wahda SC vs Al-Ain FC Prediction: At least the visitors will not lose

The Al-Nahyan Stadium will host Al-Ain’s 18th round of matches in the United Arab Emirates Pro League. Al-Ain hopes to bounce back to winning ways as they prepare to take on Al-Wahda on Thursday. Wahda is touring in the right direction with two consecutive league victories while Al-Ain is fresh off a defeat in their last league game. The last time they met, Al-Wahda stole the show with a 1-2 victory over Al-Ain at home and Al-Ain will fight against suffering home and away defeats to Al-Wahda this season. Our prediction here is on the goals option, we back both teams finding the net and a total of over 2.5 goals. Let’s analyze both teams’ forms, key stats, and my expert opinion. 

Al-Wahda FC (4th)

Form in the League: WWLLD

Al-Wahda have now secured two consecutive league victories in their last two league games, it first started with a 3-1 victory over Khorfakkan earlier this month and then to a 0-3 victory over Baniyas in their last league game. Thursday's encounter against Al-Ain would be a true test of their strength as they go up against a more sophisticated team. They are currently 4th placed in the league table with an overall league stats of 8 wins, 4 draws, and 4 losses from the 16 league games played.

Al-Ain FC (3rd)

Form in the League: LWWDW

Al-Ain tried their best possible to secure a minimum of a draw in their most recent league game against Al-Wasl but it was all a futile effort as they lost narrowly to Wasl by a 1-0 scoreline. They’ll now be hoping to bounce back to winning ways with a victory over Al-Wahda on Thursday. 

Al-Ain is 3rd in the UAE Pro League table with 8 wins, 5 draws, and 4 losses from the 17 games they’ve played this season. Al-Ain is fierce in their offensive abilities, producing results that have resulted in the most goals in the league this season. With their amazing offensive abilities, we tip them for a minimum of two goals on Thursday Kodjo Laba is a force to reckon with in the UAE pro league as he is currently the top scorer with 16 goals to the good. He’ll most likely get on the scoresheet for Al-Ain on Thursday.  

Head-To-Head Statistics

A critical look at their last 10 meetings produced 4 wins for Al-Ain, 4 wins for Al-Wahda, and 2 draws.  

Expert Betting Tips

Al-Wahda won the first-leg encounter and Al-Ain will try not to lose to Wahda for the second consecutive time this season. Of course, Al-Ain is better and stronger in terms of form and player quality and with Al-Ain’s recent defeat to Wasl last week, they should aim for the all-important win here on Thursday. I believe Al-Ain will not lose as they are the stronger team and we can bank on a win or draw for Al-Ain. 

The goals option is also a great betting choice as Al-Ain has scored the most goals in the league this season all thanks to their great attacking force spearheaded by Kodjo Laba who remains the top scorer in the UAE pro league this season. 

Our first prediction is a win or draw for Al-Ain and a total of over 1.5 goals for 1.73 odds at 1xbet.

Our second prediction is for Al-Ain to win either half for 1.70 odds at Betway. 

Our third prediction is for both teams to score, and a total of over 2.5 goals for 1.75 odds at Bet365.
