Major Shifts in ADNOC Pro League Table After Round 15

Round 15 of the ADNOC Pro League has caused significant movement in the table, particularly in the mid-table and relegation zones. Teams like Al-Khawr, Ajman, and Dibba secured victories, while Sharjah and Kalba suffered defeats. Despite Al-Bani Yas dropping to the bottom with 11 points, their hopes of staying in the league remain, as they are only nine points behind 6th-placed Al-Nasr. Meanwhile, the league leaders, Al-Shabab and Al-Ain, continue to showcase their strength by securing important wins over Sharjah and Al-Jazira respectively, keeping the title race fiercely competitive. Al-Khawr, under Croatian coach Damir Kržnar, continued their positive run, displaying a bold attacking approach and tactical discipline. In contrast, Al-Wakhdha suffers from inconsistency despite high possession statistics, and Sharjah is going through a difficult time following a heavy defeat. Al-Wakhdha is also paying the price for injuries and the absence of key players, which affects the team's balance. Al-Fujairah remains a puzzling side, being the team that concedes the most goals in the first 10 minutes due to a loss of concentration.
