All eyes will be on Zabeel Stadium this Saturday as Al Wasl and Al Nasr face off in a much-anticipated Bur Dubai derby to conclude Matchweek Six of the ADNOC Pro League.
With just two points separating the two sides, the clash promises to be wide open as both teams push to keep pace in the title race.
Al Wasl currently sit fifth on 10 points, while Al Nasr are eighth with eight points.
History gives Al Nasr a slight edge
The two sides have met 32 times in the Pro League era, with Al Nasr holding a narrow advantage of 13 wins to Al Wasl’s 12, while seven matches ended level.
Al Nasr have scored 50 goals in those encounters, compared to Al Wasl’s 44.
Fabio Lima is the all-time leading scorer in this fixture with eight goals.
No draws in the last 16 meetings
While seven of the first 15 league meetings between the teams ended in stalemates, there has not been a single draw in the last 16 encounters. Al Wasl have won 11 of those matches, with Al Nasr claiming six.
