Khor Fakkan Club average 10.8 shots (4.0 on target), 3.5 corners and 0.8 cards a game, with 46% of the ball. Al Dhafra SSC score 0.6 and concede 1.8 a game in their last five away, with no clean sheets and three games without a goal.

Head to head. In the last ten meetings Khor Fakkan Club have won seven, drawn none and lost three. Eight of the ten went over 2.5 goals and both teams scored in seven. In the last four, Khor Fakkan Club won three and Al Dhafra SSC won one. The last time they met, on 29 Aug 2026, it finished Khor Fakkan Club 2-0 Al Dhafra SSC: Khor Fakkan Club had 8 shots to 13, 39% of the ball, two yellow cards.
Where it pulls both ways. Al Dhafra SSC are the form side, but the meetings favour Khor Fakkan Club: in the last ten meetings, Khor Fakkan Club won seven and Al Dhafra SSC won three. On goals, their goals for and against point to a tight game; their records put over 2.5 goals at 58%; eight of the last ten meetings went over 2.5, and the meetings settle it.
The case against. Not everything agrees on goals: their goals for and against point to a tight game.
The read. No side to back. An open game. Form and the meetings point different ways, so I back neither side. Their records put over 2.5 goals at 58%. Eight of the last ten meetings went over 2.5.
The bets. No bet yet: nothing I'd back is priced yet. Leave: Khor Fakkan Club or Over 2.5 Goals (no result call); Al Dhafra SSC or Over 2.5 Goals (no result call); Under 4.5 Goals (no unders on an open read). Predicted score: Khor Fakkan Club 2-1 Al Dhafra SSC (8% chance).
Every score's chance from both teams' checked games, never cut or rescaled. The lit square is the likeliest score that fits the read (an open game).
