Competition: Saudi Arabia Pro League
Date: Sat 11.May
Match begins: 17:45 (UTC)
Venue: Prince Mohamed bin Fahd Stadium

Al Ittifaq will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today’s opponents. The home side are currently 30 points behind Al Hilal.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Al Hilal 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 3-2-2 (win-draw-loss) from seven matches.
