Al Jazira host Al Bataeh at Mohammed bin Zayed Stadium in Matchweek 7 of the ADNOC Pro League, in a clash that promises attacking football and open play from both sides.
The Pride of Abu Dhabi enter the match aiming to secure another win and strengthen their position among the top teams, while Al Bataeh arrive looking to turn their season around with a performance that restores belief and halts their inconsistent run of results.
Al Jazira currently sit sixth in the table with 10 points, maintaining steady progress after recent strong defensive displays. Al Bataeh, meanwhile, occupy 12th place with just three points and are in search of stability after a challenging start to the campaign.
History tilts firmly in Al Jazira’s favour. The two teams have met six times in the ADNOC Pro League, with Al Jazira winning five of those encounters and Al Bataeh claiming only one. None of the matches have ended in a draw.
The fixture has also delivered excitement in abundance, producing 24 goals across those six meetings, an average of four per game — a reflection of both sides’ attacking approach.
Under their current coach, Al Jazira have found a strong defensive rhythm. The team have kept four clean sheets in their last five league matches — matching the total they achieved in their previous 19 outings, highlighting the team’s growing tactical balance between defense and attack.
Al Bataeh, on the other hand, remain unpredictable. They have gone 11 league matches without a draw, winning three and losing eight, underscoring both their attacking intent and their ongoing defensive struggles.
Al Jazira have also made a habit of fast starts in this fixture, scoring first in all eight meetings between the two clubs across league and cup competitions.
Offensively, “Pride of Abu Dhabi” have scored 17 goals compared to just seven for Al Bataeh in their league matchups, underlining their superiority in front of goal.
Ali Mabkhout continues to be the standout performer in this fixture’s history. The Al Jazira captain has scored four goals against Al Bataeh in the ADNOC Pro League, more than any other player, and remains a decisive figure in his team’s attacking structure.
