- Jalel Kadri has built a compact, counter-attacking set-up at Al Hazm since taking over in April 2025, while Al Kholood boss Des Buckingham has brought a more pragmatic and adaptable structure to the team since joining in August of the same year.
Al Kholood

Head-to-Head
- Al Hazm, who won 2-1 away from home in the return game three months ago, currently sit 12th in the Profesional League 2025-2026 with 28 points from 25 games, while Al Kholood are two places and three points behind in 14th.

Key Players
Martins is Al Hazm’s top scorer with five goals in 25 league appearances, but Ramiro Enrique is the team’s main man, having scored 14 in 24 and three in his last four appearances.
Betting Insights
Buckingham sets up with a four-man backline, but his adaptable pressing strategy and focus on wide transitions has kept the visitors competitive on the road.
Prediction
There’s little to separate the sides coming into this match, but Kholood’s recent form on the road - winning their last two away fixtures - will be considered in our selection, but a draw is still the most likely outcome , with both teams to score - yes and over 2.5 goals also appealing.
