Coach Daniel Isaiela emphasized that the match against Al Orouba is a "six-point match," given its importance in the league standings. Isaiela said:

He added: "We have to be ready and perform at our best. We must respect our opponent. Although Al Orouba is not going through a good period, they are a strong team with distinguished players and have previously put in great performances, especially against Al Jazira."
The coach concluded his remarks by emphasizing the need for high concentration and giving the team everything they have on the field to achieve a positive result.

He added: “In the first round, we were unable to achieve victory against Al-Orobah, but today we are determined to achieve victory at home in front of our fans and continue to collect points in our league journey.”
