Al-Hilal will face Al-Qadsiah in the eleventh round of the Saudi Roshn League at the Prince Mohammed bin Fahd Stadium in Dammam. Their build-up includes a longer journey to the match city.
Travel plan to Dammam
Saudi newspaper Arriyadiyah report that Al-Hilal's delegation will travel to Dammam on Thursday by bus, with air travel difficult given the current circumstances.
That leaves Al-Hilal facing a trip of up to four hours by bus rather than the hour it would take by plane.
Stay before Doha trip
Once in Dammam, Al-Hilal's delegation will stay there before heading to Doha to face Al-Shamal in the third round of the league phase of the AFC Champions League Elite.
League positions
Before Al-Qadsiah's game later on Tuesday, Al-Hilal were top of the table on 24 points, two clear of second-placed Al-Qadsiah.
Al-Qadsiah could reclaim top spot with a game in hand before meeting Al-Hilal if they beat Al-Taawoun on 20 October in the tenth round of the Roshn League.
