Round 16 of the Professional Football League of Adnoc begins tonight with two decisive matches and will continue tomorrow with three encounters. Notably, the leaders, Shabab Al-Ahli and Sharjah, skip the round after the postponement of the matches against Al-Wahda and Al-Jazira until the end of April.
The focus will be centered on the match between "Ain" and "Kalba" at the Hazza bin Zayed stadium, where the "Leader" will strive to maintain third place and temporarily reduce the gap with the leading teams. The "Tigers", in turn, want to continue their successful performances after the victory over Sharjah.
The "Lilovye" restored balance under the guidance of new coach Vladimir Ivich, defeating "Bavaya" 2-1 and moving to third place with 26 points. However, the team still has issues with defense, despite the strong attacking line.
"Ain" scored 38 goals, as did Shabab Al-Ahli, but has problems in defense, which causes the Serbian coach Vladimir to seek solutions to defensive problems before it becomes too late.
The "Ain" defense faces the challenge of the attacking "Kalba" led by Mehdi Gaidi, which can pose a serious threat to the "Leader". On the other hand, "Kalba" is in good shape after winning against Sharjah and has some issues in defense, which they can address using the strong attack of "Ain".
In another match, Hurfakan will meet Al-Aruba at 17:25 at the Sakr bin Muhammad Al-Qasimi stadium. This match is crucial for both teams, striving to climb out of the relegation zone.
The hosts enter the match after a heavy defeat against Al-Wahda 1-3 in the previous round, which has left them at 15 points. The team also faces the absence challenge of Chikin Dombi, who received a straight red card in the match against "Al-Anabi".
Meanwhile, Al-Aruba has a strong attack, demonstrating itself in the match against Al-Jazira, where they scored four goals but still lost 4-5, leaving them with three points at the bottom and threatening their chances of remaining in the Professional League.
