Al-Ittihad's goalkeeping choice for the match is Mohammed Al-Absi. In defense, Carlo Simic, Danilo Pereira, Hassan Kadesh, and Fares Abdi will form the backline. Midfielders Dion Lopy, Houssem Aouar, and Richard Ríos will be supported by George Ilenikhena, Steven Bergwijn, and Ahmed Al-Ghamdi in attack. Unfortunately, Al-Ittihad are without goalkeeper Predrag Rajković, midfielder Mukhtar Ali, and defender Ahmed Al-Julaidan due to injury.
