Form:

Al Ittihad(in all competitions): W-W-L-W-D

Al Fayha (in all competitions): W-D-L-W-D

Players to watch out for:

Karim Benzema (Al Ittihad)

The Frenchman is back to his brilliant best in the 2024/25 season. He has registered 19 goals and nine assists in 27 appearances. The 2022 Ballon d’Or winner is finally showcasing the qualities for which Al Ittihad signed him last season.

The former Real Madrid striker is much more than a goalscorer as well. He is a complete team player who complements his teammates very well.

Fashion Sakala (Al Fayha)

The Zambian has been one of the positives for the home side this season. He has scored seven goals for his club and is currently their top goalscorer. The 27-year-old striker is a lethal finisher and can be very threatening in and around the box.

Al Fayha are not expected to get many chances during their clash against Al Ittihad and need to be clinical. This makes the role of Fashion Sakala even more important.

Match Facts:

• The last game between these two teams ended in a 1-1 draw.
• Al Ittihad won 3-2 against Al Nassr in their last game.
• Al Fayha won 2-1 against Damac in their last game.
