Moving closer to the top clubs is the target when these two mid-table clubs duel. Both will be aiming to better their league position, Alhassam in 8th and Al Ittihad in 5th place.
- Alhassam have the most dropped points from leading position (6) in Second Division
- Al Ittihad have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
