The ADNOC Pro League returns for Matchweek 11, promising two days of thrilling football action on Sunday, January 5, and Monday, January 6.
The action begins with a fiery clash between Shabab Al Ahli and Al Nasr at Rashid Stadium.
Shabab Al Ahli, currently second in the standings with 23 points and a game in hand, faces off against third-placed Al Nasr, who sit on 19 points.
This encounter follows their dramatic 5-5 draw in the ADIB Cup quarterfinals, adding to the intensity of this league encounter.
Shabab Al Ahli boast a superior head-to-head record, with 15 victories in their Pro League meetings compared to Al Nasr’s five.
However, Al Nasr’s sole win at Rashid Stadium in their last 15 visits underscores the challenge they face in this critical matchup.
Simultaneously, Al Bataeh host Al Jazira at Khalid bin Mohammed Stadium.
Al Bataeh, in 13th place with 5 points, will look to capitalize on home advantage as they search for their first win in weeks.
Al Jazira, sixth with 17 points, aim to rebound from a 3-1 defeat to Al Ain in the previous matchweek, making this a pivotal match for both sides.
As the evening unfolds, the drama intensifies with two matches scheduled at 19:45.
Kalba, in seventh place with 14 points, welcome Ajman, who sit 10th with 10 points.
Both teams are eager to secure their fourth league victory and gain momentum for the second half of the season.
At Hazza bin Zayed Stadium, Al Ain face league leaders Sharjah in a clash of heavyweights.
Al Ain, fifth with 18 points and a game in hand, seek to close the gap on the top of the table, while Sharjah, with an impressive 27 points, look to solidify their dominance.
Al Ain lead the historical rivalry with 13 wins in 28 league meetings, compared to Sharjah’s six victories and nine draws.
Monday features three compelling fixtures. The day starts with Khorfakkan hosting Bani Yas at Saqr bin Mohammed Al Qassimi Stadium.
Ninth-placed Khorfakkan, with 11 points, are determined to move up the standings, while Bani Yas, 11th with 8 points, are equally motivated to break their inconsistent run.
