Al-Ittihad find themselves outside the Saudi Pro League top-three as they play hosts to Al-Khaleej at the King Abdulaziz Stadium on Thursday.
The defending champions were last held to a 1-1 draw at Al-Ettifaq in the domestic circuit last Friday and picked up a 2-1 win over AGMK in the AFC Champions League earlier this week.
On the other hand, Al-Khaleej will be looking to aloof themselves from the drop zone. Pedro Emanuel's side last suffered a 3-1 loss against Al-Wehda at the weekend.
Here, GOAL brings you everything you need to know about how to watch, including TV channel, streaming details and more.
