It's still early in the Pro League season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Al Ittifaq - Al Ahli preview!

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Al Ittifaq and Al Ahli.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Al Ahli have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artificial turf is 6-2-1 (win-draw-loss) from nine matches. Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1300 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
