Both of them are looking to win in order to improve the ranking.
Al-Orouba hosts its rival, Al-Ain, at Dibba Stadium, in a confrontation in which Al-Orouba realizes that the guest will be heavy, especially with “Al-Zaeem” seeking to regain its lost luster this season, and achieve a victory that will reconcile its fans.

The confrontation is the third between the two teams in the “Professional League”, and it is noteworthy that the previous two matches ended in a draw, but Al-Orouba realizes that it must improve its offensive effectiveness, considering that it has the weakest attack, and has only 5 goals, while Al-Ain must solve the defense problems by conceding 14 goals in the match. First 5 matches.
Al-Bataeh and Khor Fakkan will meet at Khalid bin Mohammed Stadium, and “Al-Raqi” occupies twelfth place, with 4 points, and “Eagles” is 11th with 7 points, which makes them realize the importance of winning the match and the points in the calculations of escaping from the relegation zones at the end of the season.
During the break, Khor Fakkan changed the coach, appointing Abdul Majeed Al-Nemr, in the hope of providing a better performance, after losing in four of the previous seven matches.
Al-Bataeh has the advantage in the previous confrontations against Khor Fakkan, by winning twice, compared to one victory for its competitor and one draw.
