"The Derby of Rage"... Hattin and Tishreen ignite the Syrian League

Al-Basel Stadium will host at five in the afternoon, UAE time, four local time in Syria, the "Latakia City Derby", which brings together the two arch-neighbours, Hattin and Tishreen, in a confrontation for the fourth round of the Syrian Premier League. Latakia, which has 35,000 spectators, in a meeting that usually represents a championship in itself between the supporters of the two clubs, and they call it the "derby of anger."

Last season’s champion, Tishreen, in the historical 62nd confrontation that brings him together with his neighbor Hittin, aspires to continue to confirm the height of his heels, after Tishreen won previously on 23 occasions, in return for being satisfied with a tie in 25 matches, while the “blue whale” asks for the title that Hittin is famous for. By his club's fans, he snatched the 14th victory in history.

Tishreen enters his confrontation with the ambition of kidnapping the three points of the match and improving his position on the ranking ladder, after he was satisfied over the past three rounds, winning victory on one occasion, and drawing in two matches, which led him to gain five points, and enter into a partnership at the level of third place with All of the Army, Al Wathba and Jableh.

On the other hand, Hittin is looking for the reconciliation of his fans, by winning over Tishreen, and compensating for his loss in the last round against his neighbor Jableh with a score of one goal without a response, in a loss that led to his relegation to eighth place with four points, with a goal difference from both the army and the police, who ranked sixth and seventh.

It is worth noting that Tishreen has historically had the advantage in the abundance of goals at the expense of its traditional rival, Hittin, after Tishreen players scored 66 goals over the past 61 matches, compared to 57 goals scored by Hittin players against their neighbors, but history does justice to Hittin in terms of scoring the biggest victory, When the Blue Whale defeated Tishreen 6-1 in the second leg of the 1991-1992 season.
