The Dibba team, currently at the bottom of the ADNOC Pro League, is looking to revive their hopes of avoiding relegation when they host Bani Yas in a match described as a "bottom-of-the-table clash". The game kicks off at 17:25 at Dibba Stadium as part of the 15th round of the championship. The encounter comes with both teams having very similar records, not only in terms of points but also in possession percentage, with Dibba at 39% and Bani Yas at 41%. Both teams are aware that the result of this match carries double importance, as a victory would provide a significant morale and points boost in the fight to avoid relegation compared to their direct rivals. Dibba sits last in the standings with 9 points, collected from two wins and three draws, while Bani Yas's situation is not much better, lying second-to-last with 11 points from three wins and two draws. Dibba is facing the match in difficult circumstances after confirming the absence of their players Iago Azivedo and Simon Cabral, who were sent off with direct red cards in the previous match against Shabab Al Ahli, which complicates the task of Romanian coach Ciprian Banuta in this critical stage of the season. In terms of head-to-head encounters, the two teams have met 11 times in the league, with Dibba winning only two matches compared to five wins for Bani Yas, while four encounters ended in a draw. Dibba scored 16 goals against Bani Yas, while their own conceded 27 goals.
At 20:00, all eyes turn to Kalba Stadium, which will host a crucial match between Kalba and Ajman in a contest that is no less important in the struggle to move away from the danger zone and take an additional step towards a safer position in the table, especially as the competition enters a stage where points cannot be wasted. The chances seem evenly balanced between the two teams given their close positions in the league table, with Kalba in 9th place with 16 points, while Ajman is in 11th place with 14 points. Ajman is also suffering from a clear lack of victories, having failed to win since the beginning of 2026. Kalba will be without their player Ahmed Abu Namus for the match after he was sent off for two yellow cards in his team's match against Al Ain, while Ajman enters the match with a full squad but faces a challenge in the midfield area following the transfer of their international player Esam Faysal to Al Nassr. The two teams have faced each other 17 times in the Pro League, with Kalba winning 7 matches, compared to 8 wins for Ajman, while two matches ended in a draw. Kalba scored 27 goals against Ajman, while "The Volcano" scored 35 goals in Kalba's net.
