Al-Fatwa, the current leader with 37 points and a difference of four points from his nearest competitor, is the luckiest team and the closest to winning the title, and he has two matches remaining because he will rest in the next round (round 20), where he will play in the twenty-first round with Al-Wathba in Homs and in the twenty-second round And the latter will play with Al-Majd in Damascus.
While the runner-up, Al-Ahly Aleppo, with 33 points, has three matches that are not easy, as he will play in the next two rounds with teams threatened with relegation, as he will play in the next round with Hattin at his home in Aleppo, then in the twenty-first round he will play outside his land with Al-Majd in Damascus, and in the round The latter will play with Tishreen at home in Aleppo.
As for the third Jableh, he lost a lot of his chances of competing after losing at home in the last round, but he still has hope that the Al-Fatwa and Ahly Aleppo teams will stumble.
Jableh has strong matches, as it will play in the next round in Damascus with Al-Jaish, who lost hope in the competition and will play Al-Mertaha, and in the twenty-first round, Jableh will play with Al-Karamah in Jableh, and then conclude its match in the league with Al-Wehda team threatened with relegation in Damascus.
