Al Ahli vs Al Hazem Prediction 05.02.2026 | Saudi Pro League

Currently sitting third in the league standings, Al Ahli approach this fixture as one of the division’s most consistent heavyweights, having expertly balanced their domestic title ambitions with a strong continental campaign, comfortably securing a top-eight finish in the league phase.

The Jeddah giants arrive for Thursday’s clash brimming with confidence, following a goalless draw against table-toppers Al Hilal in their most recent outing - a result highlighted their defensive brilliance and kept them firmly in touch with the summit.

Al Ahli have transformed their home ground into a near-impenetrable fortress, boasting an unbeaten record in front of their passionate Jeddah supporters. They have recorded seven wins and three draws at home this season, scoring an impressive 2.3 goals per game on average.

Right-back Ali Majrashi remains the only absence for Al Ahly, as he picked up a sending-off in a tough clash against Al Hilal last time out, so youngster Mohammed Abdulrahman could fill his void.

Meanwhile, Al Hazem prepare to travel to the "Shining Jewel" amidst somewhat turbulent waters, currently sitting 11th in the league and desperate to arrest a recent slump that has seen them claim just one victory from their last five top-flight outings.

While their 21 points keep them comfortably above the relegation zone, the team has demonstrated a “giant-killer” mentality in recent draws against upper-table opposition, showcasing their defensive resilience and ability to frustrate stronger sides.

Interestingly, Al Hazem have performed far better on the road than at home this term. In ten away fixtures, they have suffered just two defeats, with half of their trips ending in stalemates, earning them a reputation as a “draw specialist” away from their own turf.

Although largely healthy heading into this challenging fixture, the medical team will need to monitor Ahmed Al Shamrani and Mohammed Al Yami, both of whom were forced off late in Al Hazem’s most recent Saudi Pro League encounter.
