Rimal Al-Sahra SC welcome Forte Virtus FC II to the Jebel Ali Sports Complex for a return fixture against a side that would ultimately finish third in UAE Division 3.

The two clubs have already met this season, with Rimal claiming a 1-0 win on the opening day away from home. With Forte Virtus FC II set to be among the division's top finishers, this late-season meeting carries real weight in the run-in.

A home victory would complete the double and deliver another clean sheet - crucial elements in Rimal's push for a top-two finish.

The Jebel Ali Sports Complex has been a fortress for the new club, and another positive result here would keep them in lockstep with the leaders as the campaign enters its closing rounds.

Both sides arrive on strong form, making this a significant test in the battle for promotion.
