The Kalba federation is seeking to end the Fujairah knot that has been going on for years. The Tigers have not been able to beat the Wolves in the past seasons when they meet at Kalba Stadium at 9 pm in the fourth round of the Arabian Gulf League.

The game comes in a difficult situation for Kalba, who have not achieved any positive result this season, as the bottom of the competition without points, against the brilliance of Fujairah in the last period. The two teams have met four times before, Fujairah won three of them (3-2), (2-1) and (3-2), and tied once with a result (3-3).

The situation seems difficult for Kalba to break the knot, after the coaching staff was replaced by the arrival of Uruguayan coach Jorge Diaz, who took over the task just days ago, and was not allowed time to deal with the physical fatigue suffered by the international team returning from recent international participation, Jordanian Yassin Bakhit The Hungarian Gugak and the Togolese Malaba.

"The only problem I have is the physical condition of the internationals," Diaz told a news conference. "I will make the decision to involve them essential after sitting with them and making sure they are physically ready."

He stressed that the time has come for the team to start improving their position in the competition. "The players need a moral boost and a radical change in mental behavior to overcome the psychological barrier to achieve a positive result," he said. Fujairah, meanwhile, are in the game after winning six points from a 1-0 win over Al Wahda and Hatta (2-1), putting them in fifth place in their best start in their previous appearances.
