They stand close to the "leading" eye

Emirates today

Al-Wasl and Al-Nasr teams stand at an important crossroads during their confrontation at 20:15 this evening, in the ninth round of the ADNOC Professional League, which will determine their path on the way to compete for the championship title before it is too late, especially as they are close to Al-Ain, the leader with 18 points. Despite their late rank on the standings list, Al-Nasr is in fifth place with 13 points, and Al-Wasl is in eighth place with 12 points, which means that the league is still mathematically in the field so far, the difference between the eighth and the first is only six points.

The "Dubai Derby" is characterized by club and excitement, today, in light of the point difference that separates the "brigadier" and "the emperor", while the morale is not the same, while Al-Wasl was thrilled by defeating the Emirates team with a free goal in the last round, the victory was defeated Unexpectedly, in Al Maktoum Stadium, in front of Ittihad Kalba, with three goals that disturbed the fans, who had been well-marked in the team's competition for the title, after the broad victory over Sharjah by three clean points.

The loss reflected negatively on the atmosphere of the victory training, which was confirmed by Argentine coach Diaz in a press conference, saying: “The training was held in a difficult atmosphere due to the bitterness of the loss against the Kalba Union,” noting that “midfield players Tariq Ahmed and Portuguese Tozi made mistakes, to The poor coverage side of the two central defenders, which caused the big loss.”

On the other hand, “Al-Asfar” is betting on playing the match at its stadium, and the return of the public for the first time to the “derby” since the 2019-2020 season, after the matches of last season were held without the presence of the audience due to the impact of the Corona virus pandemic, as Al Wasl seeks not to repeat the scenario of the season. Last, when he received a big loss from Al-Nasr in Zabeel with three goals without a response, while Al-Waslawiya hopes that the team will repeat its victory in the "Derby", after Al-Wasl won the last match that brought the two teams together last season at Al-Nasr Stadium with a goal without a response scored by Fabio Lima.
