The points difference ignites the competition…and the champion is “unknown”.

Shabab Al-Ahly continued its lead in the ADNOC Professional League, after its great victory over Dibba in the 15th round that concluded the day before yesterday, and Sharjah also succeeded in returning from Bani Yas with the three match points, which ensured the continuation of the point difference between the two teams, but the stranger in the league until round 15 It is the absence of the features of the champion, and although the leading teams are the most realistic in terms of performance and results, the six-point difference between the leader and the seventh-place finisher gives the championship a distinct form of competition and makes it difficult to predict the identity of the champion.

Al-Wasl succeeded in returning to the golden square with Al-Wahda, and the result of any match became capable of tipping the scales, and the direct confrontations between the seven teams during the next rounds will be the main criterion for determining the features of the lead and revealing the identity of the league champion, and the start will be from the next round, which will witness two confrontations. It is very difficult that the third unit will gather with leaders Shabab Al-Ahly, in addition to the Al-Ain Clasico with Al-Jazira.

Round 15 did not witness surprises compared to the results of the previous rounds, although the match between Al Jazira and Khor Fakkan was the only one in which Al Jazira was expected to win with a good result, but Khor Fakkan had another opinion by embarrassing the owner of the land, and he was close to coming up with the three points until the 94th minute that saw Al Jazira tie. 1-1.

Al-Wahda’s two-goal victory over Ittihad Kalba brought the team back to the competition, but it did not return to the previous form of Al-Wahda, while keeping the dangerous Brazilian striker and the team’s top scorer Pedro on the bench, which raised many question marks.

On the other hand, Ajman achieved a great and deserved victory over Al-Nassr in a wonderful technical way, as Ajman coach Goran succeeded in technically outperforming Al-Nasr coach, Croatian Tomic, and the Ajman players focused greatly, especially in counter-attacks, to score three goals from organized counter-attacks and succeed in Superiority to victory.

In the relegation struggle, the form and performance of the Al Dhafra and Dibba teams improved significantly, but the results did not improve due to the bad start, and there may be a different form for the two teams in the next 12 rounds, and it is expected that they will have a role in determining the identity of the champion and the relegated teams.

And “Emirates Today” monitored via “Twitter” on the account of “Emirates Today Sports” a question about the Al Ain team and its approach to the lead: “We shared the opinion.. After Al Ain once again approached the top of the league by only four points, is the leader able to maintain his title despite Being lost in three matches so far? Four answers were identified, namely: Yes, it is able to compete, it is far from its level, it needs more work, and Al-Ahly youth is the closest.

During the vote, which was interacted with by 1,760 fans, 44.1% expected Al Ain to succeed in returning to the competition, while 20.6% confirmed that the leader is far from his level, and 19.1% chose that the team needs more work, and 16.2% expected that Shabab Al-Ahly is the closest to winning the title. .

For his part, technical analyst Khaled Obaid confirmed that the Sharjah and Shabab Al-Ahly teams are the closest to continuing the competition because of the quality of players, coaches, ambition and technical form they possess, indicating that the fluctuation of results is normal, especially with the pressure of matches, absences and influential injuries that may hinder the march of the two teams.

Khaled Obaid told Emirates Today: “Shabab Al-Ahly may be the only successful team in proving its eligibility for the lead in addition to Sharjah with its players, and the Al-Ahly youth player, the Italian Cartabia, is a weapon that presents what the coach expects from him and what he does not expect, in a model For a great playmaker and scorer, winning may seem easy for the bottom of the standings, but the player really makes the difference.
