The Khorfakhan team continues its preparations to face host Bani Yas, the day after tomorrow, as part of the ninth round of the ADNOC Pro League. During the international break, which coincided with the holding of the Arab Cup in Qatar, the team played two friendly matches against Al-Qadsiah from Saudi Arabia and Dibba. Moroccan star Khorfakhan player Tarik Tissoudali is expected to continue his absence from the match due to his participation with the 'Atlas Lions' in the Arab Cup, which concludes today with a match between Jordan and Morocco. Khorfakan 'The Falcons' benefited from the cancellation of the red card received by Brazilian player Pedro Pavlov in the previous match against Shabab Al-Ahli, by decision of the Referees' Decisions Appeal Committee, which is positive news for the team given the player's high technical value. Both Khorfakhan and Bani Yas are aware of the importance of the three points in the league standings. Khorfakan occupies tenth place with eight points (two wins and two draws), while Bani Yas is in the penultimate place with four points (one win and one draw). A win would help improve both teams' positions, as Bani Yas aims to move away from the relegation zone, while Khorfakan looks to get closer to it. Bani Yas 'The Sky Blues' aim to continue their winning streak after their last victory over Sharjah (4-1), while Khorfakan seeks to return to positive results after their loss to Shabab Al-Ahli (0-1), with a goal coming in the 87th minute.
