Wihdat to play crucial game for title race

AMMAN –– With two more weeks remaining for the  62nd Jordan Professional League, leaders Wihdat will be fighting to win the title when they play That Ras on Wednesday, while three clubs are also mired in the relegation battle.

Wihdat failed to secure the tile after a 0-0 draw with Hussein, keeping them four points ahead of Faisali who managed a 3-2 win over Sarih. 

Faisali will play Sheikh Hussein.

Wihdat need one victory to win back the title, while Faisali need to secure two wins and hope that their archrivals, Wihdat, lose one of their two matches. 

That Ras follow in third place after a 3-2 win over Arabi. 

Shabab Urdun, holders of last year's title, went down to ninth place on the table after a 1-1 draw with Jazira.  They next play Hussein Irbid, hoping to improve in the standing and to exit the relegation fears.

Sheikh Hussein have been relegated to the first league despite embarrassing Ramtha  5-1, while Manshieh secured their place in the Pro League after a 3-0 win over Baqaa. 

Arabi, with 19 points, and Sarih with 20 points, are on the 11th and 10th places respectively. They will be in tough positions as they will fight to remain in the professional league. 

Manshieh striker Mohammad Abdul Halim took over the top scorers list with 12 goals followed by Ramtha's Hamza Dardour with 9.
