Reigning champions Al Ittihad will bid to make it five wins from six Saudi Pro League matches when they take on newly-promoted Al Okhdood in Najran on Thursday.

The Jeddah giants suffered a wild 4-3 defeat at the hands of arch-rivals Al Hilal before the international break, while Al Okhdood beat Al Riyadh 1-0 last time out.
After drawing with Al Shabab in their opening match, Al Okhdood suffered three consecutive defeats, firing two blanks in the process, but Jorge Mendonca's side finally picked up their first win of the season last time out, claiming a 1-0 victory over Al Riyadh.
Still, Mendonca will be concerned about his team's lack of goals, as Al Okhdood have managed to net just three goals across their first five league games this term, meaning that only one team possesses a poorer offensive record than the Najran outfit.
That said, only six sides have conceded fewer Saudi Pro League goals than Al Okhdood's six this season, so the top-flight newcomers will be hopeful of avoiding an immediate return to the second tier.
At the opposite end of the standings, Al Ittihad find themselves third - eight points clear of Al Okhdood and one point shy of the top two - having won four of their five matches this season.
