Bani Yas will be guest of his counterpart Al Wahda at eight in the evening at Al Nahyan Stadium, at the end of the 13th round of the Arabian Gulf League.
Al-Wehda is ranked sixth in the standings with 19 points, while Baniyas is fourth with 23 points.
And the return of the Slovenian striker, Matavz, motivated Al-Annabi to deliver a big game and win, after the Slovenian missed the last five matches due to injury.
He explained that Al-Annabi was affected by the lack of an explicit spearhead, after Matavz, who scored five goals during his appearances in the league matches, was injured.
There will be no alternative for Al-Wahda but to win, in order to preserve its chances of competing for the league title this season, despite the delay in points against leaders Sharjah.
As for Baniyas, he will seek a positive result, hoping to continue in the golden square with the end of the first leg.
Al-Annabi seeks to break the negative results barrier in the face of the big teams this season, as it lost against Sharjah, Al Jazira and Al Ain, and tied with Al-Ahly Youth and Al-Nasr, and today's confrontation will be a difficult test for coach Razovic's men.
The mission of Al-Wehdah seems very difficult, especially since Bani Yas has glowed greatly this season, and scored perfect numbers, being the strongest defense so far, after his net conceded only 10 goals, and his attackers scored 24 goals, and he is one of the most prominent offensive forces.
Al-Wahda is armed with the history of his confrontations with Bani Yas, as they had previously met in 19 previous professional matches. Al-Annabi won 12 times, compared to three victories for Al-Samawi, while they were tied in four matches.
In these clashes, Al-Annabi won the biggest victory over Bani Yas, 6-2, in the 2017 season.
