From the source
Al-Wasl and Al-Ain teams face a common fate, which is to exit two championships in less than two weeks, when they meet this evening, in the second leg of the Quarter-finals of the Football League Cup at Zabeel Stadium, in a confrontation that is not divisible by two, as the loser will be deposited first The season’s tournaments, which makes the confrontation take place on a hot plate, while the confrontation between them will be repeated again on January 15, in the President’s Cup, which is a competition that is played by the system of losing the loser, and will also be held in Zabeel.
On paper, the "Emperor"'s chances appear to be the greatest in today's meeting, with a 3-3 draw in the match away from home, as it suffices for them to at least a negative draw or 1-1 or even 2-2 to ensure qualification, but nevertheless it will require them to double their efforts, And more concentration, and a balance between the defense and attack lines to decide the card.
On the other hand, the "leader" is in great ecstasy because of the positive results that have been achieved, despite the absences affecting the ranks, especially in the defense line, and the wave of absences will extend to the Moroccan top scorer, Sofiane Rahimi, who joined his country's team to participate in the African Nations Championship.
But the "leader" squad will know at the same time the return of Caio Canedo after an absence that lasted for nearly two weeks, due to injury, so that the player returns at an important time to lead the offensive line against his former team.
Today's confrontation will be a rehearsal before the meeting that will bring them together in the President's Cup, which will make the losing team of the meeting get the opportunity to "repay the debt" to the other party, who will also have a chance to prove the height of his heels.
