The curtain falls today, Wednesday, on the sixth round of the Zain Premier League, with two matches: Al-Arabi face Al-Fahaheel at 5:30 p.m. at Sabah Al-Salem Stadium, while Al-Qadsia take on Al-Shabab at 7:50 p.m. at Al-Shabab Stadium.
It is worth noting that the matches between Al-Arabi and Al-Qadsia against Al-Sahel and Al-Salmiya in the fifth round of the championship were postponed due to the participation of the Green and Yellow teams in the AFC Challenge League.
Al-Arabi, currently tenth with three points, aim to overcome their disappointments in the league and Asian competitions and turn a new page when they face fifth-placed Al-Fahaheel, who have nine points, in today’s match.
Al-Arabi are coached by Bosnian manager Darko, whom the club recently signed after parting ways with Croatian coach Goran Sablic due to poor results.
Head of the football department Khaled Abdulqodous and coach Darko held a meeting with the players, emphasizing the necessity of securing a win today to reconcile with the angry fans, who are eager to see the team secure its first victory of the season.
For his part, Al-Fahaheel aim to continue their winning streak after last week’s 2-0 victory over Al-Shabab.
The Al-Fahaheel technical staff, led by Slovak coach Martin Sevyila, recognize the difficulty of today’s match but place great hope in their players, led by Brazilian striker Vitor da Silva, to return with three points, or at least one point.
Al-Qadsia coach Mohammed Ibrahim plans to rotate the lineup, bringing Moroccan Ayoub Al-Khadher back into the starting eleven alongside Eid Al-Rashidi, while Bader Al-Mutawa may remain on the bench after the effort he exerted in the Asian competition.
Al-Qadsia seek to secure three points today to return to third place before playing their postponed match.
Wagner has several key cards to play, including outstanding goalkeeper Dhaeri Al-Atiqi, loaned to the team from Al-Kuwait Club, along with Saad Al-Athab, Omar Al-Hubaiter, and Brazilian striker Toto.
