Al-Wahda is closer to relegation than survival in the Roshen Saudi Professional League, due to Al-Fateh’s 5-0 victory over Al-Khaleej, which brought them to 26 points. Despite Al-Wahda’s 1-0 victory over Damac, which brought them to 23 points, Al-Okhdoud’s 1-0 draw with Al-Taawoun made matters more difficult. Meanwhile, Al-Raed’s tally remains frozen at 18 points after losing to Al-Ahli 2-0.

The Knights’ next two matches will determine whether the team will be relegated or remain in the league. They will face Al-Taawoun in Buraidah next Saturday in Round 28, followed by Al-Ahli in Mecca on Tuesday, April 22, in Round 29 of the Roshen Saudi Professional League.

On the other hand, Al-Wahda coach Carreño said: “The remaining matches are cup matches. There is no room for compensation after a loss. We must win, and our team is capable of doing so. The best evidence is that, according to statistics, we are the best in previous matches, but unfortunately, we lose.”

On the field, Carreno asked all players to focus on performing their professional roles on the field as required, taking advantage of opportunities and converting them into goals, and preventing the opponent from scoring goals or committing costly defensive errors. We must hold on to the rope of hope to survive until the last confrontation, as there is nothing impossible in the world of football. He also conducted training on the strength of the clash, snatching the ball from the opponent, and how all players participate in building an attack and confronting a counterattack. The team will conduct a football maneuver the day after tomorrow (Wednesday) on the entire field to choose the tactic and formation with which it will face its opponent next Saturday.
