The Saudi Pro League match between Al-Nassr and Al Hazem will take place at Al-Awwal Stadium on Friday at 10:30 pm IST.
This week, there’s a match in the Saudi Pro League between Al-Nassr and Al Hazem. It’ll be played at Al Awal Park at King Saud University on Thursday afternoon. Al-Nassr is doing well, sitting in second place with 52 points after 21 games. On the other hand, Al Hazem is struggling, being at the bottom of the table with only 14 points from the same number of games.
This weekend, Al-Nassr aims to keep up the pressure on Al Hilal, who are leading the league and haven’t lost a game yet. Al-Nassr recently won a tough match against Al Shabab, with Cristiano Ronaldo scoring his 750th club goal. However, Ronaldo might miss this game due to a possible ban for a gesture towards fans. Despite that, Al-Nassr has a strong team and is on a winning streak, having won nine games in a row and being unbeaten in ten. In their last encounter, they easily defeated Al Hazem with five goals to one, continuing their winning streak against them since February 2020, having scored 13 goals and conceding only three.
Al Hazem, who recently got promoted to the top league, are struggling this season and might face relegation unless they improve in the second half. They’ve only won two games, with eight draws and 11 losses, leaving them six points behind safety. They changed their coach early in the season but haven’t improved much under Daniel Carreno. Their recent match ended in a draw, continuing their winless streak. They’ve struggled particularly in away games, not winning any yet. While winning this upcoming match seems unlikely, Carreno hopes his team can at least show some fight to boost morale before their crucial game against another relegation-threatened team next weekend.
Al-Nassr probable starting lineup: Abdullah, Boushal, Al-Amri, Laporte, Telles, Al-Khaibari, Brozovic, Talisca, Yahya, Mane, Otavio
Al Hazem probable starting lineup: Dahmen, Mhemaid, Ricardo, Viana, Al-Aazmi, Al Salman, Moreno, Al-Thani, Alsayyali, Toze, Badamosi
