clad fans at the intimate surroundings of the Prince Abdullah bin Faisal Stadium - where both clubs play their home games in the Saudi league and the AFC Champions League - will give his side a boost. "We have a slight advantage tomorrow although it will be a very difficult match and we need to win by at least two goals," he said. "The advantage will be our fans who we expect to show up in big numbers and I ask them to support the players throughout the match to make the difference. "We might miss some key players but we have good replacements who are of a high quality and they are able to fill in for any missing players. We have to think only about the match tomorrow and how to win." Al Ahli are seeking their first-ever appearance in the final of the AFC Champions League, although they did reach the final of the Asian Club Championship in 1986, when they lost out to Daewoo Royals from Korea Republic. Meanwhile, Al-Ittihad coach Raul Caneda will have veteran Saudi Arabia international defender Redha Tukar available after suspension as his team attempt to see of Al-Ahli in the second leg of their AFC Champions League semi-final on Wednesday. The two-time winners lead 1-0 after the first leg last week and Tukar is likely to return to partner Osama Al-Harbi at the heart of the Al-Ittihad defence as the club set their sights on a record fourth AFC Champions League final appearance. Brazil midfielder Diego Souza (Diego de Souza Andrade), however, missed training earlier this week and the former Fluminense and Palmeiras player's availability for the crunch meeting with Al-Ahli is in doubt. "We are confident that we can win against Al-Ahli tomorrow and advance to the final of the competition," said Caneda. "We have already forgotten about the first leg and the next match will be like a new match for us." While Al-Ahli will have home field advantage at the Prince Abdullah Al-Faisal Stadium - where both clubs play their home matches. "We will be missing our fans in the match as their support will be big for us," he said. "However, we are capable of having a good performance and of getting the result that we need just like we did in the quarter-finals against a strong Guangzhou Evergrande team."
