The first Al-Ittihad Football team is preparing to meet Al-Sharjah, UAE, in a decisive match on Tuesday at Al-Enmaa Stadium. This confrontation comes within the fourth round of the Al-Gharb Group of the AFC Elite Champions League. The team is seeking to achieve a new victory in its continental journey, especially as it is looking forward to achieving its fifth victory over Emirati teams in Jeddah.
The history of confrontations between Al-Ittihad and Emirati clubs is rich in results, as the Al-Ittihad team hosted six of its Emirati counterparts, in ten confrontations within the continental championship, during which it achieved four victories, a draw in three matches, and suffered a loss in the same, which reflects its good performance in these confrontations.
Al-Ain and Al-Wahda are considered among the most prominent Emirati clubs that Al-Ittihad faced in Jeddah, where they met with each of them in three matches, followed by Shabab Al-Ahly, Al-Jazira, Baniyas and Al-Nasr in one match, and the history of the confrontations shows Al-Ittihad’s superiority three times over Al-Ain, Al-Wahda and Baniyas.
In terms of draws, Al-Ittihad scored twice against Al-Wahda, while it suffered losses from teams such as Al-Nasr and Al-Ain, but the ambition is still alive to achieve a positive result in the next match, despite the team falling to seventh place in the group standings by three points, which increases the importance of the match.
