At 4:50 pm today, the Al-Wasl and Baniyas teams will cut the tape of the first-leg matches of the quarter-finals of the Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank Football Cup competition, while the match between Al-Ain and its guest Al-Jazira will be renewed at 19:45, one week after the “El Clásico” that brought them together in the ADNOC League. For the professionals, Al-Zaeem won 3-1.
In the first match, Al Wasl will host its counterpart Baniyas at Zabeel Stadium in a confrontation in which both sides are united in their desire to achieve victory, and they are also going through almost the same difficult circumstances related to the poor results in the recent period.
The homeowners will go into the match and are required to quickly regain their balance, after losing in just 10 days the Super Cup title against Shabab Al-Ahly, and their defeat against the same competitor in the league championship in the tenth round, which will require the “Emperor” to correct the course in today’s match by achieving a victory that puts him in the balance. Going forward to the semi-finals.
On the other hand, Baniyas is not going through its best condition, as its last victory in all competitions dates back to last October 17 when it won against Dibba in the President’s Cup, and since then it has played five matches, losing to Al Orouba, Sharjah, Dibba Al Hisn and Al Ain, while it tied in one match. He was facing Al-Bataeh.
In the second match, Al Ain faces Al Jazira in a match in which Al-Zaeem raises the slogan of repeating the victory in the match, hoping to put a foot in the golden square, but he realizes that victory will not be easy, and he must be careful of the reaction of the guests who want to return the debt and return to the capital. A comfortable victory enhances their chances of competing for the competition title.
