Al Ittihad, led by Karim Benzema, is set to face defending champion Al Hilal in a potential title-decider match at the King Abdullah Sports City Stadium, with a win potentially extending their lead to seven points in the Saudi Pro League.

The current leaders of the Saudi Pro League, Al Ittihad, have a four-point lead at the top of the table with 52 points from 20 matches. The team has been boosted by new signings, including Benzema, Diaby, and Aouar, who have played a key role in their turnaround. Benzema has scored 15 goals and seven assists in 17 matches, surpassing his tally of 10 goals in his debut SPL season.

Al-Hilal, on the other hand, has a strong squad with players like Leonardo, Milinkovic-Savic, and Neves, and will be looking to close the gap. The team's attack has also been firing on all cylinders, with Marcos Leonardo scoring 13 goals and finding support from Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and Salem Aldawsari. The two teams have faced each other twice this season, with Al Hilal winning the first match 3-1, but Al Ittihad winning the latest encounter in the King's Cup quarterfinal in penalties.

The match will be a battle between two of the most expensive sides in the league, with Al Ittihad's squad valued at €119.38m and Al Hilal's at €178.50m. The outcome of the match will have significant implications for the title race, and fans can expect an intense and exciting encounter between these two Saudi Pro League giants.
