On the table, Al-Hazm sit fifth with 3 points after an opening 2-1 win away from home, while Al-Ittihad are eighth on 1 point following a 1-1 draw at home. What tilts things toward the hosts is the head-to-head record: Al-Ittihad have gone unbeaten in the last five meetings, with three wins and two draws, including the most recent, a 1-0 win last April, played in this very stadium.
