Al Najma
- Al-Najma have won just once in five Saudi Professional League matches (D1, L3) since their 3-1 away defeat to Al Khaleej.
- Al-Najma are solid and can be methodical in their 4-1-4-1 setup, where they play with a structured and disciplined midfield, allowing their deep-lying pivot to play the ball forward to fast, energetic attackers.
- Al Najma have won only 2 of their 15 home matches in 2025/2026, conceding 34 goals.
- However, Al-Saqar’s 2025-2026 campaign has been dogged by a leaky defense and they could be vulnerable to a fast start to this game if Al-Hazm play on the front foot.
Al Hazm
- Al Hazm have failed to win any of their last 2 away games (D1, L1).
- Jalel Kadri’s team have lost momentum since April 2025 when he took over, but they have won two, drawn one and lost two of their last five in the league, leaving them in ninth spot in the Professional League 2025/2026 with 38 points from 31 matches.
- Al-Hazm’s 4-4-2 or 4-3-3 system is based on compactness and quick transitions with Al-Najma usually looking to penetrate the wide areas.
Head-to-Head
Al-Hazm won the last head-to-head meeting 3-2 at home and we believe they have the edge to take all three points on Saturday, but Al-Najma have enough quality to get on the scoresheet.
Key Players
Omar Al-Somah leads Al-Hazm’s scoring charts with six goals in 22 appearances and provides crucial experience and finishing, while Yousef Al-Shammari has chipped in with two in the last five.
Betting Insights
Back Al-Hazm to win at 2.0 with goals at both ends and over 2.5 goals looking good at 1.77 and both teams to score at 1.63 .
