The spotlight will be on Sharjah vs Al Jazira match as the standout fixture of the opening day in Matchweek Two of the ADNOC Pro League, kicking off this Friday, August 22nd, and running through Sunday, August 24.
The eagerly anticipated contest is scheduled for 20:30 on Friday at Sharjah Stadium, with both sides heading into the match under contrasting circumstances but united by a common goal: victory.
Sharjah are seeking back-to-back wins to maintain momentum, while Al Jazira aim to bounce back from a disappointing start to the season.
Sharjah opened their campaign with a commanding 3-1 win over Dibba, and now target a second successive triumph for the sixth time in the past seven seasons.
In contrast, Al Jazira fell to Khorfakkan in their opener but will look to avoid an unprecedented back-to-back defeat at the start of an ADNOC Pro League season.
Historically, the two clubs have met 30 times in the ADNOC Pro League, with Al Jazira holding the edge: 16 wins to Sharjah’s 5, alongside 9 draws.
Despite Al Jazira's record, Friday’s meeting promises to be unpredictable.
