Preview: Al Hazem vs Al Ettifaq Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Saudi Pro League 2025-26

The last two meetings between these clubs have ended on level terms.

Al Hazem will now host Al Ettifaq for their matchweek 24 fixture of the 2025-26 Saudi Pro League. This is going to be an interesting contest here and is scheduled to take place at the Al-Hazm Club Stadium.

Hazem Al-Samood will be looking to return to winning ways now. They haven’t secured a win in their last two games. Al Hazem were held to a 1-1 draw by Al Ittihad in their previous matchup.

Despite being at home for their next game, the lack of consistency at the moment means they will not be fully confident. With six wins in 23 fixtures, Al Hazem are in 13th spot on the league table at the moment.

The Knights of Ad-Dahna are coming in after facing a dominating loss against Al Qadsiah. It was a poor performance by them. They conceded four goals and failed to score any.

Al Ettifaq have come up with decent efforts in competition this season, and they will also be looking to jump back to winning ways. Having won 11 of their 23 matches, they are in seventh place on the Saudi Pro League points table.

Players to Watch

Omar Al Somah (Al Hazem)

In 15 league games of the ongoing campaign, he has scored five goals. Omar Al-Somah will be keen to add more to his tally. A step up in his style of play will surely be beneficial for the hosts.

Despite not scoring any goals in the previous game, the 36-year-old is going to be one of the main men in the squad for the hosts.

Georginio Wijnaldum (Al Ettifaq)

Georginio Wijnaldum will be looking to step up his game so that he can get his side back on the winning track. He has scored 12 goals and has four assists in 22 Saudi Pro League appearances this season. The 35-year-old can control the midfield well and is surely capable of scoring goals.
