Round 8 clash continues on Friday

Etisalat Pro League competition round 8 continues on Friday 23 December where Al Ahli host their counterparts Ajman at Rashid Stadium 4:50 pm, Bani Yas meet Al Wahda home at Bani Yas Stadium 4:55 pm, and round 8 ends with Al Wasl facing Al Nasr at Al Wasl Stadium 8:00 pm.
Al Ahli vs. Ajman
It’s getting a little more complicated for Al Ahli despite all the expectations, coming 9th on the league table with 7 points after 2 single league win, 1 tie and 4 league loss makes it a real challenge for the 2009 Pro League Champions and they have to fight hard if they want to go back on the track. On the other hand Ajman are keeping more balanced performance with 9 points on the table after 2 league win, 3 ties and 2 league loss. Their round 7 victory over Emirates might be a good push to give their best in the upcoming match.
Bani Yas vs. Al Wahda
It is hard to guess how this match is going to end. Despite their 1-2 league loss against Al Nasr in round 7, you can’t but recognize how the blues’ performance is getting better. Still with 6 points on the table a loss means danger, so they have to fight hard. Playing home before their fans with Senghor and Antonin on the pitch might be a very good sign for the blues.
On the other hand, Baiano has been Al Wahda’s lucky number for the past weeks. With 12 points on the table, a win means moving closer to the league summit. And Al Wahda have the ambition for it.
Al Wasl vs. Al Nasr
A tough derby and wait-worth match to end round 8 with, Al Wasl are striving not to snatch themselves off the table, their critical status after the 2-0 league loss against Al Ain with 11 points on the table promises an exciting performance on Friday night.
It’s the same for Al Nasr, the competition is fierce this week and to stay amongst the top- notchers requires a lot of effort. Bresciano who scored twice in round 7 against Bani Yas along with the other professional players are Al Nasr’s fundamentals for this match, and to win is definitely a great push forward.
