The home team come into this one on the back of a comfortable and impressive 2-0 defeat of Al Orubah a couple of weeks ago. They now take on an Al Fateh side that begin the weekend sitting rock-bottom in the Saudi Pro League. Al Ittihad are expected to win this one quite comfortably, especially with their home advantage.
