An open game: both sides to score, with Trezeguet and Amir Sayoud both getting shots away.
Our model only just leans towards Al Riyadh here: 40% to win, with Al Hazem on 34% and the draw on 26%. If you want one score, our predicted score is Al Riyadh 2–1 Al Hazem, the most likely Al Riyadh win (9%). Al Riyadh are expected to score 1.6 goals and Al Hazem 1.4, 3.0 between them. Both sides are more likely than not to score (61%) and three or more goals is 58%.
On form, Al Riyadh have two wins, two draws and two defeats from their last six games, and Al Hazem have no wins, two draws and four defeats. Of their last four meetings on our records, Al Riyadh have won none, Al Hazem two, and two were drawn. The last meeting ended Al Hazem 2–1 Al Riyadh, in Apr 2026.
We expect Al Riyadh to have 12.6 shots (4.1 on target) and Al Hazem 12.7 (4.3 on target), and corners at 5.1 to 4.4. Ahmed Al Shamrani of Al Hazem is the most booked player in either squad, once every 2 games in 2026/27. Bawler's pick for this game is Both Teams to Score, Over 20.5 Total Shots, Trezeguet 1+ Shot and Amir Sayoud 1+ Shot. Our model gives all four landing together a 47% chance, which makes the fair price 11/10 (2.14).
