KUWAIT CITY, Feb 14: In the fifteenth round of the Zain Premier League, both Al-Kuwait and Al-Arabi emerged victorious, further solidifying their positions at the top of the league. Al-Kuwait’s narrow win against Al-Qadisiya not only helped them recover from relinquishing the Amir’s Cup title but also increased their lead over Al-Qadisiya to four points.

Al-Arabi, on the other hand, bounced back from their elimination in the Crown Prince’s Cup by defeating Al-Jahra, restoring balance to the team and overcoming the setback of the previous “Derby” loss. This win maintained their strong standing in the league, waiting for the anticipated seventeenth-round fixtures.

Despite Al-Qadisiya’s astonishingly lackluster performance against Kuwait Club, they maintained their third-place position, struggling to break through their opponent’s organization. Al-Salmiya continued to impress, securing another victory over Al-Shabab, firmly holding the fourth spot in the league with 34 points.

While Al-Fahaheel took a positive step away from the relegation zone with a crucial 2-1 win over Al-Nasr, the latter team faced setbacks, dropping to fifth place. Kazma, after a goalless draw with Khaitan, finds itself in seventh place, raising concerns about potential relegation if they don’t recalibrate in the remaining two rounds.

Al-Shabab, now in eighth place, is increasingly at risk of the relegation battle, particularly as Khaitan remains stagnant at the bottom with 8 points. Al-Jahra, with only two points, appears destined for relegation unless a miraculous turn of events occurs in the final rounds.
