The competition has become fierce among all clubs, as each side looks to gain some ground between keeping pace with the league's leading teams, moving up the standings, or steering away from the relegation zone.
Friday's action gets underway when Al Wahda welcome Al Dhafra at Al Nahyan Stadium for the 22:00 kick-off, with Gregory Dufrennes' men seeking to win to heap pressure on leaders Al Ain, while twelfth placed Al Dhafra are looking to achieve a positive result to move up in the standings.
