Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Sharjah Warriors

Sharjah Warriors were one of the weakest teams last season. However, to eliminate the chances of similar results, the team signed many big names this year and are expected to change things around for the good. The sides clashed twice last season where both the teams won a game each. This will be the first game of the season but looking at the squad strength of both the teams, Sharjah Warriors look like a better pick to win this affair.
