Al-Wathba and Al-Karama teams will meet in the Homs derby as part of the second round of the Premier League football matches, which will be held tomorrow, in which Al-Harjala will meet with Afrin, Al-Wahda with Jableh, Hittin with Al-Talia, Al-Nawair with Tishreen and Al-Ittihad with the Army, provided that the police will meet with Al-Fatwa the day after tomorrow.
Al Karama has prepared well for the Al Wathba match and aspires to continue its victories after it opened the league competition by beating Al Police 2-1, while Al Wathba seeks to open its season with a victory that motivates it for the upcoming matches, especially after its negative draw with Jableh in the first round.
Al-Karama coach Abdul Qader Al-Rifai said in a statement to SANA, “The technical differences are absent in the derby matches, and the psychological factor and high morale are relied upon on the field,” pointing out that his team seeks to perform well and achieve a new victory to move forward towards the competition.
On the Hama Municipal Stadium, Tishreen, the defending champion, will meet with the Norias, where Tishreen coach Tariq Jaban confirmed that achieving victory in this match is important to continue the positive start of our team, indicating that his team is preparing for the match after studying its opponent well with his weaknesses and strengths, and the team will enter with high spirits and ambition to win.
For his part, Al-Nawaeer coach Khaled Hawaini indicated that the match with the defending champion will be difficult because he is more prepared and experienced than our team, which needs more time to gain experience and achieve harmony between the players, indicating that the team will give everything it has in order to ensure a positive result, and this matter is not difficult. Especially since we are playing the match on our land and among our fans.
Hattin meets Al-Talia on the grounds of Al-Basel Stadium in Lattakia, and both of them aspire to a victory that exceeds the result of the tie that they exited in the first round.
Hittin coach Abdel Nasser Makis explained that his team will play the match with full ranks and with the required technical and physical readiness, and will play to win match points and invest the land worker and the public, because the victory will raise the morale of the players, especially the new youth, expressing his confidence in his players to provide a positive performance.
Al-Tale’a coach Firas Qashoush pointed out that his team is ready to meet Hittin and aspires to perform well and compensate for the points it lost in the last round, indicating that the team needs to play additional matches in the league in order to develop the players’ level and skills for the better because the period of preparation for the league was late and insufficient.
The first round was held last Friday and witnessed Tishreen’s victory over Al-Ittihad, Al-Karama over Police, Al-Wehda over Al-Harjalah with the same result 2-1, Afrin tied with Hattin 1-1, Al-Nawa’ir with Al-Talia 2-2, Al-Jaish with Al-Fatwa and Jableh with Al-Wathba with the same result without goals.
