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.
It should be mentioned that Al Ittifaq play their home matches on artifical turf, so they have to adjust for this one as it's played on grass. Does it matter?

Al Wahda's struggle is real here at King Abdulaziz Sports City Stadium with only 10 points collected from 12 Pro League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 3-1-8. The home stadium (King Abdulaziz Sports City Stadium) is supposed to be a fortress, but for Wahda it's been a house of straw as the last five games here have all been lost.

Heartbreak before that as Wahda lost 0-4 at Al-Ain's place.
