The performance of Ainas in Sasakan has been quite unimpressive. After the loss of SSC Cup, they drew with Team Bohol in the first round of SSC matches, the team needs to warm up; and the team leader, Cron, could not be spared, and was named as a "complaining woman", complaining that his teammates did not do their best, and the morale was low. It is worth mentioning that in the last six halftime encounters between the two teams, the number of goals has not exceeded one, and the number of goals scored in a half [1.5] seems to have become a tacit agreement.
Although Ainas did not bring in any major reinforcements this summer, only signing Brazilian goalkeeper Bintou, the core of the team is still led by Cron. His attacking partners include Shadio Vinny and Talisca, while the defense is guarded by Park Di and Alexis Dinis. Unfortunately, they missed out on winning the title last season. Facing arch-rivals Hilal in the earlier final of the Saudi Premier Cup, Cron broke the deadlock in the first half but made a series of mistakes in the second half to suffer a 1-4 defeat.
In the last round of the sand match, Crown once again broke the deadlock for Ainas, but lost in the second half due to penalty kicks, and finally drew 1-1 with Parkdee. It was reported that Crown asked the club to replace four foreigners after the match, a decision that undoubtedly messed up the team's performance in the league, making it difficult to predict.
In the first round of the league, Efeha lost to Eta Avon with 0-1. Against a strong Ainas side, they will have to play a tight game to get a point. Given that both sides have scored fewer goals at half-time in recent years, the number of goals scored at half-time [1.5 goals] may be the turning point of the match.
