Competition: Saudi Arabia Pro League
Date: Sat 28.December
Match begins: 14:35 (UTC)

The visiting Al Taawon side should be favourites in this visit to Al Ittifaq, as the away team holds a 9 point advantage from their twelve league games this season.

Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Al Taawon 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 3-2-4 (win-draw-loss) from nine matches.
