Two “heavy caliber” summits are at the forefront of the start of the “26th round” of the First Division League, on Saturday, as Al-Orouba, the leader with 58 points, will host United “fifth”, which has 29 points, while Al-Dhafra “fourth”, with 40 points, will host its guest. Dibba III has 42 points, and will meet Gulf FC and Al Dhaid in the third match.
The round will be completed on Sunday with 5 matches, bringing together Dibba Al-Hisn and Masafi, Al-Hamriyah and Al-Fujairah, Gulf United and City, Al-Jazira Al-Hamra and Al-Rams, Al-Arabi and Masfoot, while Al-Taawoun, which is in ninth place with 33 points, will be absent due to rest.
“Dubai Sports City Stadium” will host the match between Al Orouba and its host United, after the first round match was held, which the leaders won 2-1 at Al Orouba Stadium, and the latter seeks to strengthen the lead and break the 60-point barrier, driven by the morale of victory in the final minutes of the last round’s match against Al Orouba. City 2-1.
On the other hand, United, the “dark horse,” hopes to continue the series of positive results, and to snatch the fifth victory in a row, since the last loss to Al-Fujairah 1-2 in “Round 19.”
At the Hamdan Bin Zayed Stadium in Al Dhafra, the two-point difference ignites the confrontation with Al-Faris, which seeks to regain third place against its rival Dibba. Al Dhafra achieved victory in the last round against its host Al-Rams 3-0, while Dibba beat Gulf FC 1-0.
Away from the atmosphere of competition for the top positions, Gulf FC, “13th” with 21 points, will meet its host, Al Dhaid, which is in 12th place and has 26 points.
