Al-Urooba vs Al-Bataeh prediction and betting tips on May 20 2025
Game Prediction
In the 25th round of the UAE Pro League on May 20, 2025, Al-Urooba will face Al-Bataeh. The hosts have already been relegated, while the visitors are certain to stay up. For both sides, however, this is one of the last opportunities to secure a win this season.
Our Prediction for Al-Urooba vs Al-Bataeh
The team from Fujairah spent the past couple of years in the United Arab Emirates Second Division. However, after winning it in 2024, they earned promotion. Their current opponent moved up to the top flight a year earlier and managed to secure seventh place last season, finishing with 37 points.
The newcomer had little chance of survival at Pro League level. Having lost all matches up to March (except for a 1-0 win over Bani Yas back in October), the underdogs have surprised in recent weeks: securing wins over Al-Ittihad and Ajman and drawing with Al Wahda. However, a strong Al Wasl team did hand them a defeat.
Farhad Majidi's side sharply declined, but ultimately avoided relegation thanks to two truly hopeless underdogs—not only Al-Urooba, but also Dibba Al-Hisn. From mid-February onwards, however, even they hardly lost. Their unbeaten run ended with a 1-3 loss to Al Wasl, but they followed up by beating Bani Yas. In the last round, they lost 0-2 away to Al Jazira.
