The Al Ahli Jeddah manager V. Milojević attacks this game with the team placed 3rd so far. In the visitors dressing room Al Shabab and their manager P. Faria Caixinha are in 2nd place before this match.
Al Shabab have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
