Al Ittihad will take on Damak in the Saudi Pro League at the Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz Sports City Stadium on Thursday.
Ittihad are fourth in the standings with 28 points from 15 matches. They are already 13 points behind the league leaders Al Hilal but have got a good run going as they are unbeaten in their last five matches.
Damac are eighth in the standings and seven points behind their upcoming opponents. They have won their last two games and scored eight goals in the process. That should give them hope of making life difficult for Karim Benzema and co.
