The ADNOC Pro League returns with Matchweek 7 kicking off on Thursday, October 31, and wrapping up on Saturday, November 2.
With six matches on the schedule, fans are in for plenty of excitement.
However, the much-anticipated clash between Al Ain and Shabab Al Ahli has been postponed, shifting the spotlight to two top games: Al Wasl vs. Al Jazira and Al Nasr vs. Al Wahda, both of which could significantly impact the league standings.
The action begins on Thursday with Bani Yas hosting Sharjah at 16:50. Both teams aim to bounce back from defeats in the previous matchweek.
Bani Yas, currently in ninth place with seven points, hope to turn things around, while Sharjah, sitting in second place with 15 points, are determined to stay in the title race.
Later that evening, all eyes will be on Al Wasl and Al Jazira, who meet at Zabeel Stadium at 19:30.
Al Wasl, currently seventh with eight points, will be desperate to find their way back to winning form, while Al Jazira, currently fourth, look to extend their recent run of good performances and close the gap to the top.
In 30 previous meetings in the Pro League, Al Jazira have dominated this matchup, securing 18 wins compared to just six victories for Al Wasl, with six matches ending in draws.
On Friday, November 1, the action continues with Kalba facing Al Orooba at 16:50.
Kalba are eager to recover from their recent setback, while Al Orooba, fresh off their first win of the season, will look to build momentum and climb out of the lower half of the table.
Later that night, the focus will shift to the highly anticipated encounter between Al Nasr and Al Wahda at Al Maktoum Stadium at 19:30.
Separated by just one point, Al Wahda sit in third place with 13 points, while Al Nasr hold fifth place with 12 points.
Both teams are eyeing a spot in the upper tier of the standings, and with so little between them, this match is expected to be a thriller.
In their 30 previous league meetings, Al Wahda have claimed 17 wins to Al Nasr’s four, with nine games ending in draws.
A win for either side will be crucial in keeping them within touching distance of the league leaders.
The matchweek concludes on Saturday, November 2, with two fixtures that could shape the lower end of the table.
Khorfakkan, currently in 10th place with six points, will host Dibba Al Hisn, who remain at the bottom without a point to their name.
The match will take place at Saqr bin Mohammed Al Qassimi Stadium at 16:50.
Later that evening, Ajman will take on Al Bataeh at Rashid bin Saeed Stadium at 19:30.
Both teams sit level on four points, occupying 11th and 12th places, respectively.
With both sides desperate for a win, the match promises to be hard-fought as they look to climb away from the relegation zone.
