Head-to-Head
- Al Fateh and Al Hazm have shared the spoils in one of their last two meetings.
- Al Hazm has only lost two of nine away league games in the Profesional League 2025-2026, averaging 1.33 goals conceded per game.
Both teams have recorded 2 wins, 1 draw, and 2 defeats in their last five league matches.
Al Fateh
- Al Fateh occupy tenth position in the Profesional League 2025-2026 with 21 points from their 17 matches, one point more than eleventh-placed Al Hazm with 20.
- José Gomes has done a good job since taking over as manager of Al Fateh in December 2024, putting a structure around a team with talent that can go forward.
- The hosts play with a compact double-pivot and are always looking for the transition, preferring to have their attacking players free to express themselves.
- Mourad Batna has been their playmaker this season, providing seven assists in 16 matches.
- However, his passing vision opens up defenses and offers Wesley Delgado the opportunity to run at the opposing defense.
- The attacker has scored two of Al Fateh’s last six goals in the last five games, while Matias Vargas leads the scoring charts with five goals in 16 appearances.
Al Hazm
- Jalel Kadri has led Al Hazm since April 2025 and has been very much an organiser, preferring his men to be disciplined and well organised in a low-to-mid block.
- They are not a team that will open up the game, preferring to sit deep and look to pick their moments for vertical passing to launch a counter.
- Fabio Martins has been the most effective attacking player this season, with four goals in 17 games.

Betting Insights
- Al Fateh is favoured at 1.95, but Al Hazm will be at 3.5 for the win, and the draw is 3.6.
- The Under 2.5 goals market is 2.2 and looks valuable because of the pragmatic nature of both teams and the recent form.
Prediction
I think this looks like a draw or a narrow win for Al Fateh as the hosts have won one and lost one of their last two home games, while Al Hazm have drawn one and lost one of their last two away games.
