At 06:45 pm today, Al Ain team will be a heavy guest against Baniyas, at Al Shamkha Stadium, in the third round of the ADNOC Professional Football League, in a meeting in which the "leader" is looking to undo the knot of not beating the "Heavenly" in his stadium, And that lasted for 2463 consecutive days, since the team’s last victory on December 12, 2014 with three clean goals.

During this period, the advantage and the balance were in favor of Baniyas in the matches, as the two teams met in six confrontations, three of which ended in a draw, and the same with the victory of “Heavenly”, and that Al Ain did not win against Baniyas in both stadiums also over a period of 1042 days, Since the last match in which he scored the three points, when he won at home with two clean goals, on November 4, 2018, for the ninth round of the competition.

Al Ain will enter today's meeting with a different squad than the one that participated in the past years, after the team's ranks witnessed radical changes at the level of foreigners and the technical staff.

On the other hand, Baniyas raises the slogan of compensation to achieve the first victory of the season, “lost from Al-Wasl 0-1 and tied with Al-Wahda 1-1”, and his Romanian coach Daniel Isila realizes that his advantage over Al-Ain by winning back and forth has become a thing of the past, and that things in the current season are different. And this is the same statement he made at the press conference before the meeting.
