Players to watch 

Steven Bergwijn (Al Ittihad)

Steven Bergwijn is the man to watch out for Al Ittihad. The Dutch winger has been one of the most in-form and impactful players for the Jeddah-based outfit. Bergwijn is known for his pace, ability to take on defenders and skilful moves on the pitch. He is also a proven goalscorer and has consistently found the back of the net, including a goal in the last game.

Lucas Zelarayán (Al Fateh)

The Armenian midfielder will be Al Fateh’s main man coming into this game. He has enjoyed a good run of form this season and will be looking to replicate his heroics against a star-studded side. The 32-year-old is a versatile player who primarily operates as an attacking midfielder, but can also slot in as a striker as and when required. His playmaking abilities coupled with his positioning and consistency makes him a lethal weapon for Al Fateh.
