The round continues on Saturday, and Al-Ahed, the defending champion, who is in sixth place (7), will be a guest of the Tripoli team, and the summer of Al-Qaa (2) will be on the grounds of Al-Mardashiya Stadium in Zgharta.
Al-Ahed seeks to continue its uprising after it began to regain the hero’s personality, and to seize a victory that seems within reach, at least on paper, without considering his technical capabilities that qualify him to stay at the top for an additional season, while the people of the northern capital are still looking for the identity of the team, not the competitor, but the one who is able to withstand in the first degree, Especially since it is the team that receives the most losses in high numbers.

On Sunday, Al-Najma will be fourth in the ranking (7) as a guest of the ninth peace (3) in the grounds of the Mardashiya complex in Zgharta.

A knot for them in recent years, which makes the star-studded quest to break the psychological barrier and thus build confidence that will benefit the upcoming occasions.
The tour concludes with the meeting of the leading Burj team, holed up in the full mark (12) with the solidarity of Tire Seven (5) in Jounieh.
It is certain that the men of the tower, led by their coach Osama Al-Saqer, are the most attractive to attention since the beginning of the season, especially with their confirmation through the succession of matches, that their presence at the top of the ranking is not a coincidence, but is achieved with merit and with integrated technical capabilities, so solidarity will, in turn, be a kiss of interest, in anticipation that it will be honored The first to snatch points this season from the mouth of the yellow castle men.
