Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya will invite Al Ittihad to the Franso Hariri Stadium in the group stage of the AFC Champions League on Monday.
The home team suffered their first loss of the campaign in their previous outing, falling to a 1-0 away loss against Al Ittihad. It was a closely contested match and the Saudi team dug deep, with Abderrazak Hamdallah scoring an injury-time winner thanks to N'Golo Kanté's assist.
The hosts have recorded three wins on the trot since that defeat and beat Newroz 2-1 at home in the Iraqi League on Thursday. The visitors, meanwhile, have registered just one win in their three games since the win and fell to a 1-0 away loss in the Saudi Pro League on Friday.

Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya vs Al Ittihad Prediction
Al-Soqoor have suffered just one loss this season and head into the match on a three-game winning run. They are unbeaten in their last three home games in the Champions League. Interestingly, they have just one win in their 13 home games in the competition, which is a cause for concern.
The Tigers have been a bit inconsistent recently, with two wins, defeats, and draws in their last six outings. They have kept clean sheets in three of their last five away games in all competitions and will hope for a positive display in this match.
They will play for the third time in six days, so fatigue will be a factor for Nuno Espírito Santo's men. Considering home advantage for Al-Quwa and Ittihad's hectic schedule in recent games, a low-scoring draw might ensue.
