Kalba's team is aiming to achieve its first home win in the current season of the Professional League, as all matches it has played at home and in front of its fans have ended either in a draw or a loss. In the match where they host Ajman tomorrow, which is of great importance, Kalba has 16 points in 9th place, compared to Ajman's 14 points in 11th place.«Emirates Today» highlights five potential challenges facing Kalba at home in its quest for a first win:Importance of PointsKalba faces a significant challenge to secure a win, especially as Ajman plays with the ambition of achieving a positive result and avoiding a loss to steer clear of the danger zone. With teams like Al-Bataih and Bani Yas both having 11 points, the match is of a high level.Attacking PlayKalba needs to adopt an attacking style and abandon the defensive approach it has used in most of its matches, whether at home or away. Playing with more than one forward is crucial to increase the number of attacks and shots on goal, especially with star forwards like Sekou Baba, alongside Shahryar and Yasser Hassan.Vigilance Against CountersAjman is adept at executing counter-attacks and has managed to score crucial goals from them in more than one match. This requires Kalba to be extremely cautious and avoid conceding early goals that could complicate their quest for a win.Defensive FocusIn most of its home matches, Kalba has shown a lapse in defensive concentration, leading to errors that opponents capitalized on to score goals. This calls for an improvement in defensive focus and relying on experienced defenders.Fan SupportKalba suffers from low fan attendance at its stadium compared to Ajman's larger and more influential crowd. If fan support does not improve, it will pose an additional challenge that could affect the "Tigers'" chances of securing their first home win this season.
