With their 13 point advantage in the league table, Al Ittifaq fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Dhamk.

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

Ittifaq's stadium, Prince Mohamed bin Fahd Stadium, has a artifical turf surface. Dhamk have grass on their own stadium.
