Al Hazm
- Al Hazm are a tough nut to crack because of the compact, low-block system that Jalel Kadri has installed since taking over the Al Hazm helm in April 2025.
- Al Hazm have won one, drawn two and lost two in their last five league games, coming into this game off the back of a 0-3 home defeat to Al Hilal and a 2-2 away draw at Al Najma.
- Omar Al Somah has been their talisman all season with seven goals in 23 league appearances this season, but they will need all of his skills to keep Al Hazm in this game.
Al Taawon Buraidah
- Al Taawon Buraidah have had a similar run of inconsistent results in recent weeks, with two wins, one draw and two defeats in their last five.
- Al Taawon Buraidah have won eight of their 16 away league fixtures, conceding 20 goals on the road.
Head-to-Head
- Sixth-placed Al-Taawon Buraidah have 52 points from 32 games, while Al-Hazm are in ninth position on 39 after the same number of fixtures.
- The recent head-to-head record also favours Al-Taawon, who have won once and drawn once against Al-Hazm in two Profesional League 2025/2026 matches, including a 2-2 draw just three months ago.
