Al Ittihad and Al Batin should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Al Batin have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 10-2-19 (win-draw-loss) from 31 matches.
It's quite the trip for Al Batin when visiting Ittihad as the cities are 1200 kilometers apart.

3-4-5 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Al Batin, who have the fewest clean sheets (2) in Pro League, in their Pro League matches away. Recent form does not give Al Batin much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Al Ittihad will be a tough nut to crack.
Preceding that game, the 0-7 loss visiting Al Nassr's place.
Batin have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 12 league away games 17 goals have been scored. The Al Batin manager J. da Rocha Garrido has some worries about the defense as 27 goals have been conceded in these travels.
