Game week two of the Pro League season and the teams have had a few days to digest the first match. Here's the Al Ittihad - Al Taawon preview:

There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a AFC Champions League match only four days ago. This match was also played here at King Abdullah Sports City. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Al Taawon have had more rest.

Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 900 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
