Current form
Al-Ittihad finished last season in only fifth place, which is perceived as a failure for a club with such ambitions. This time, the guests have the highest goals, namely, the championship title.

In recent home matches, the team from Jeddah managed to beat Al-Raed (4:1), Al-Shabab (2:1) and Al-Holud (4:3), while on the road the club unexpectedly lost to Damak (1:2), which spoiled the positions of the guests in the standings.

Al-Ittihad is highly likely to dictate the rules of the game in the upcoming meeting and will be able to win the match not only by score, but also by other additional indicators, which include serves from the corner flag.
