They will have to give their best performance to get something from this match.

On the other hand, the away team Al Ittihad are placed fourth in the points table with 47 points, they are favourites going into this match and will look to improve their goal difference as they are facing very tough competition from Al Taawoun and Al Ahli.

Players to Watch

Toze (Al Hazem)

He is a player who is good at passing the balls, especially through balls and also by using his long passes poses a threat to the opposition, even though he is short in height he is good at ariel duels as well as ground duels. He is a creative player who quite often drifts to wide and delivers crosses into the box. He is a player who likes to roam around and many times finds pockets of space which help him to attack.

N’Golo Kante (Al Ittihad)

He is a dynamic, diminutive and disciplined player, very well known for his relentless energy and excellent ball-winning abilities as a box-to-box midfielder in the centre of the pitch. This is attributed to his strong positional sense, off-the-ball movement, and ability to read the game. His ability to tackle, regain possession, and intercept passes also makes him special.
