Ajman and Khorfakkan are set to meet in a decisive encounter filled with ambition and opportunity in Matchweek 6 of the ADNOC Pro League at Rashid bin Saeed Stadium.
Ajman enter the match in excellent form, having recorded three consecutive victories that lifted them to seventh place on nine points.
Their recent run of results has injected confidence into the team, who now look to continue their momentum and strengthen their position in the top half of the table.
Khorfakkan, meanwhile, aim to reverse their recent struggles and move up from 11th place as they search for consistency and a much-needed win.
The historical record between the two sides leans heavily in Ajman’s favor.
Across 12 league meetings in the professional era, Ajman have won eight times, compared to just two victories for Khorfakkan, with two matches ending in draws.
Ajman’s dominance has been particularly evident in recent years, they are unbeaten in their last seven league encounters, with five wins and two draws, including four consecutive victories.
They have also found the net freely in these fixtures, scoring at least two goals in each of their last five meetings.
This season marks one of Ajman’s best-ever starts in the ADNOC Pro League, collecting nine points from their opening five games, their highest tally at this stage since returning to the top division.
On the other side, Khorfakkan have shown flashes of attacking brilliance but continue to struggle with maintaining leads, having dropped eight points after scoring first, the highest figure in the league so far.
Despite that, they remain one of the most clinical attacking teams, boasting the best shot conversion rate in the competition at 24%, demonstrating their efficiency in front of goal.
October has traditionally been a positive month for Ajman. The Orange side have lost only once in their last nine league matches played in this month, achieving four wins and four draws, with their sole defeat coming against Al Nasr last season.
Ajman have scored 24 goals against Khorfakkan in league play, while Khorfakkan have netted 13 in return.
Among the standout players, Moroccan striker Waleed Azaro has been a key figure in this fixture, directly contributing to six goals in six appearances, five goals and one assist.
He and Brazilian forward Dodo share the record as the top scorers in the history of this matchup with five goals each.
