Al-Ittihad will take on champions-elect Al-Hilal in the final match of the Saudi Pro League's Friday slate in game 22 at the Kingdom Arena.
The Blue Waves have resumed business as usual following the break and ran out 2-0 victors against Al-Ettifaq on Monday.
That result brought Al-Za'eem's incredible record to 23 wins in a row, dating all the way back to a 1-1 draw against Damak in mid-September, and they are still the only side in the Saudi top flight that are unbeaten after 21 league games (W19 D2 L0).
The fifth-placed visitors, meanwhile, secured their place in the AFC Champions League quarter-finals with a thrilling 2-1 victory over Navbahor last Thursday, following a goalless draw in the first leg. They followed it up with a 2-1 league win against Al-Wahda last time out, bringing them within a point of fourth-placed Al-Taawoun.
