Al Hazm
- Jalel Kadri’s Al-Hazm play a compact, tough-to-beat brand of soccer in the Saudi Arabia Professional League, although they have been vulnerable at home this season.
- Al-Hazm have won just twice at home this term, conceding 22 goals in nine home games, with their defence looking shaky in recent weeks.
Al Akhdoud
- Al-Akhdoud will set up to make it difficult for Al-Hazm in the game and are capable of coming away with a good result here.
- Al-Akhdoud’s recent form has been poor (D2, L3), however, and Marius Sumudica’s side need to improve immediately after being thumped 0-6 at home by Al Hilal just three days ago.
- Saeed Al-Rubaie leads the scoring charts for Al-Akhdoud with four goals in 16 appearances.
Head-to-Head
Al Hazm and Al Akhdoud have split the last three meetings equally (W1, L1, D1) .
Key Players
- Fabio Martins is Al-Hazm’s main goal threat this term with 4 in 20 league matches and the Portuguese forward will be key to Al-Hazm’s success in this fixture.
- Saeed Al-Rubaie leads the scoring charts for Al-Akhdoud with four goals in 16 appearances.
Betting Insights
- Al Hazm are the favourites here at 2.15, but Al Akhdoud are available at 3.4 for the upset.
- Both Teams to Score in the match is the selection at 1.85, as both defences are leaking goals and there is an excellent chance that both sides get on the scoresheet on Thursday.
Prediction
which is why we are going with Al-Hazm to edge this game by a narrow margin.
