Al Hazem vs Al DiriyahPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Al Hazem began with a 2-1 win on the road and hold fifth place on 3 points. Al Diriyah lost 0-1 at home to Al Ahli Jeddah and are fourteenth, still on nothing. The five most recent outings of the hosts have produced goals at both ends: 3-2 at Al Bukayriyah, 2-1 at Abha, 2-0 over Al Taawon, 0-2 against Al Qadisiyah and 2-2 at Al Najma. They found the net at least twice in four of those, and they were breached in four of them as well. Al Diriyah arrive on the back of a strong run, 2-0 over FA 2000, 4-1 at Trelleborg, 2-1 against Al Ula and 3-0 against Al Jabalain, before that opening stumble. No meeting between the clubs appears on record, so historical reference points are missing. What remains is the league picture, 3.11 goals per fixture so far, and two teams who have filled the scoresheet regularly of late. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
