Season ticket holders at Al Nahdha Stadium haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Al-Nahda languishing in the 10th position so far. The guesting Al-Ittihad will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

Insights:
  • Al-Ittihad have not yet lost a game away.

There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Sultan Cup game only four days ago. That game was also an away game, at Al Oruba. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
