Bani Yas (0) - Al Ahli

With a twofold motivation this League Cup match in the Emirates, since both teams are in the qualifying game but Bani Yas seems to be more interested in this game than Al Ahli who is in a strange situation this period.

The Al Ahli champions have lent their coach to Saudi Arabia, so his assistant will take over today to run the team. They are looking at the transfer bazaar, they have already decided to take on a foreigner, while the other two foreigners in the group are Chilean with Palestinian roots Luis Jimenez and the famous Brazilian Grafite. In fact, the second is in a worse position and is likely to lose the current game or stay on the bench. Surely there will also be other 8 players that are international with the Emirates national.

Bani Yas may have just 3 international, but it is obvious that for them such absences are more important, since they do not have the same depth as Al Ahli. The reason I'm going to bet on Bani Yas is that they have been showing off in the last few days to be in excellent shape and have found their footprints on the pitch and the way to play good football and get the results. In their last 10 games they lost only the top teams in the Al Ain, Al Jazeera and Al Ahli championships.

But because today we will see a different Al Ahli, which in the League Cup games has not shown and special fighting spirit is the truth, I believe that the draw no bet or Asian Handicap 0 by Bani Yas has enough value to bet. At Bet365 the price is at 1.98 while at stoiximan it is a little lower, at 1.95.
