Matchday 15 of the Saudi Pro League sees Al Hazem host Al Najma in what could prove pivotal for both sides’ mid-season ambitions. Al Hazem currently sit 11th in the table, having collected 13 points from 13 games, while Al Najma remain entrenched at the bottom (18th) with only 2 points from 12 matches, making them the only side yet to register a win in the campaign.

Division 1
Historical meetings between these two sides are limited, with data extending mainly from earlier divisional clashes rather than recent Saudi Pro League encounters. Across the last four head-to-head fixtures, Al Hazem have won once, while Al Najma have claimed three victories, with no draws recorded in that sample.
Al Hazem team overview
Al Hazem enter this fixture as clear favourites, although this status is driven less by their recent form - which has been far from impressive - and more by Al Najma’s current position in the league table. The hosts have suffered back-to-back league defeats, losing 3-0 to current leaders Al Hilal before a 2-1 home loss against Neom SC. These results have left them stranded in mid-table, with little realistic prospect of pushing for a higher finish in the foreseeable future.
Jalel Kadri’s side can point to their dismal home form as a key reason for their stagnation rather than a genuine challenge for a top-six place. Al Hazem are winless in their last five home league matches (W0 D1 L4), a run that has significantly undermined their campaign.
No specific injury reports have been widely published ahead of this match, but ongoing squad-depth limitations mean that any absence in attacking areas could blunt their offensive threat. Even so, recent performance indicators still suggest a more confident Al Hazem side compared to their visitors.

Al Najma team overview
Al Najma’s season has been defined by inconsistency and a lack of tangible results. The bottom-placed side remain winless after 12 league matches, having recorded just two draws and 10 defeats. Their goal record - 10 scored and 25 conceded - leaves them with a -15 goal difference that highlights persistent defensive frailties.
In their most recent outing, Al Najma suffered a high-scoring 4-3 defeat to Al Ettifaq, a result that showcased flashes of attacking potential but once again exposed structural defensive weaknesses. Away from home, their struggles have been even more pronounced: they are yet to register an away win this season and have lost six of their seven road fixtures, underlining the scale of the challenge they face at Al Hazem.
There are no major confirmed injury updates ahead of this encounter, but given the club’s prolonged struggles, concerns surrounding fitness levels and squad morale remain plausible and could further diminish their competitive edge.

Prediction
Key data trends favour Al Hazem to secure victory, based on superior recent scoring rates, better defensive metrics relative to Najma’s frailties, and home advantage in a crucial mid-table tussle. However, Najma’s historical head-to-head success adds intrigue and recent improved attacking output (5 goals in 2 games) could potentially see them on the scoresheet on Monday.
Prediction: Both Teams to Score (BTTS).
Three reasons we expect BTTS
- Al Najma have scored in three of their last four league matches.
- Al Hazem have found the net in two of the last three league fixtures.
- BTTS has landed in three of Al Najma’s last four games.
