Al-Hazem vs Al Taawoun Prediction: 21.05.2026 Saudi Pro League

A regular season match with stakes for position, but not for the title, brings Al-Hazem and Al Taawoun together on the final day of the Saudi Pro League. The teams sit mid-table, ambitions muted, nerves lessened, yet pride still on the line. Al-Hazem, punching above their weight lately, meets an Al Taawoun side that’s looked sharper and, statistically, more dangerous in front of goal. Eyes will naturally drift to Roger Martínez, Al Taawoun’s main weapon in attack, who has hit three in five and consistently threatens defenses. On the other side, Loreintz Rosier for Al-Hazem, recently notched up both a goal and an assist, often steering midfield transitions and providing rare sparks for his team.

Hot stat? Al Taawoun’s 5-1 demolition of Al Shabab among their last five—a flash of attacking fury that no one else in this pairing has matched recently. That’s the real marker here.

Al-Hazem vs Al Taawoun prediction

Best value: Al Taawoun to win. The away side carries more attacking threat and, looking at their 53% average win prediction from bookmakers, it’s clear the market leans this way too. Al Taawoun’s forward line, led by Martínez and supported by Fulgini’s late runs, has been producing—nine goals in their last five, compared to Al-Hazem’s five. Al-Hazem’s defense remains porous, shipping 57 goals in 33 matches and conceding seven in the last five alone.

Both teams have been on the physical side, but Al-Hazem’s yellow card tally (17 in five) and 52 fouls in that span point to a team that disrupts more than builds. Their passing accuracy trails behind as well—81.9% to Al Taawoun’s slick 87.7%—and it shows in the rhythm, or lack thereof, in Al-Hazem’s play. Al Taawoun’s fewer fouls and sharper ball retention could see them control the tempo, especially against a side whose midfield spends much of the match chasing.

Team Analysis

Al-Hazem’s recent form reads like a struggle—draws against lowly Al Najma and Neom SC, a loss to Al-Hilal where they barely put up a fight, and most recently a flat 0-2 defeat at the hands of Al Qadsiah. Attacking intent flickers but rarely catches fire. Only five goals scored in five, with Omar Al-Soma the lone forward to have found the net in that stretch. Fábio Martins tries to spark things, but shots end up off-target, possession is often squandered. This group fouls a lot—52 times in five matches—and racks up cards almost predictably. Passing accuracy? Not great. The defense, with Sultan Tanker and Ahmed Al-Nakhli, does enough to limit total collapse but lacks composure under pressure.

Al Taawoun, on the other hand, keeps things ticking. Sure, they slipped up 1-2 to Al Ahli SC, but a 5-1 hammering of Al Shabab still echoes. Martínez up front is the main threat, with Fulgini and Petkov providing creative fuel. They scored nine in their last five, conceding seven, which isn’t perfect but feels more like an attacking side willing to take risks. Ball movement is cleaner, and midfielders like Ashraf El Mahdioui keep play moving with a 93%+ pass accuracy rate. Yellow cards and fouls stay lower—just eight yellows and 41 fouls in five matches, indicating better discipline and less time spent chasing shadows.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Al Taawoun the favourite

• Moneyline Al-Hazem 4.00 | Al Taawoun 1.75
• Draw 4.00
• Over/Under Over 2.5 1.85 | Under 2.5 2.00
• BTTS (both teams to score) Yes 1.70 | No 2.10

The market, honestly, doesn’t give Al-Hazem much hope. Home odds have ballooned to 4.00, while Al Taawoun—despite being away—get a low 1.75, showing clear confidence. Draw is considered a long shot too. Over 2.5 goals at 1.85 is almost inviting, given both teams’ leaky defenses and willingness to go forward. Both teams scoring? Bookies price it short, expecting goals at both ends, which makes sense given recent form.

Possible Starting Lineups

Al-Hazem possible starting eleven

Expect Al-Hazem to stick to their 3-4-2-1 setup. Majed Al-Ghamdi’s presence in goal is a given. In defense, Tanker, Al-Nakhli, and Al-Rashid bring the most stability, though lapses remain likely. Rosier in midfield is the engine—if there’s a spark, it comes from him. Up front, Martins and Mokwana support Al-Soma, who is the most likely to pounce on rare chances. Maybe the shape gets stretched late, but this is likely the eleven.

Al Taawoun possible starting eleven

Al Taawoun are predictable in a good way. The 4-1-4-1 lets them control midfield. Mailson in goal, protected by Girotto and Lajami centrally. El Mahdioui anchors, Fulgini and Mahzari create, Petkov presses from wide. Martínez is the talisman—he starts, he finishes. The rest know their roles and rarely get rattled. It’s an eleven with balance and purpose.

TipsGG Match Prediction

We think Al Taawoun gets the win, probably with both teams finding the net. Their sharper attack, better discipline, and midfield control set them apart. Al-Hazem could scrap a goal, maybe from Al-Soma, but defensively they leak too much and struggle to impose rhythm. The visitors have more to offer—expect Martínez to make his presence felt, Fulgini to pull strings. Al Taawoun win, over 2.5 goals, and both teams scoring feels right. If you want a riskier angle, the away win plus total corners over 9.5 is well worth a look.
