Al Nassr vs Al Hazem Match Analysis
Two teams at different positions in the Saudi Pro League standings will clash this week, as Al Nassr welcomes Al Hazm at Al Awal Park in King Saud University on Thursday night.
Match Preview
The hosts currently sit second in the league with 52 points from 21 matches, while the visitors are struggling at the bottom with only 14 points from the same number of games.
Al Nassr aims to keep up the pressure on Al Hilal after a 3-2 win against AL Shabab. They remain seven points behind the league leaders, who are unbeaten this season.
The Knights of Najd may be without their star player Cristiano Ronaldo due to a potential two-game ban for an offensive gesture towards the home crowd.
Despite this, they are on a nine-game winning streak and unbeaten in their last 10 matches.
On the other hand, Al Hazm, newly promoted to the top flight, are facing relegation unless they can improve their performance in the second half of the season.
Prediction: Al-Nassr 4-1 Al Hazem
Al-Nassr is expected to dominate possession and create scoring opportunities, while Al-Hazem may struggle to score but could find the back of the net in this match.
