Al Qadsiah welcome Al-Hazem to Prince Saud bin Jalawi Stadium in what looks like a significant match for both sides in the Saudi Pro League regular season. The hosts, coached by Brendan Rodgers, are firmly in the top four and still chasing a strong finish, while Jalel Kadri’s Al-Hazem look to stay clear of the bottom half. The odds are firmly stacked towards Al Qadsiah, but recent results show Al-Hazem can cause problems. Julián Quiñones stands out for his creative link-up play and goal threat for Al Qadsiah, while Omar Al-Soma remains the reference point in Al-Hazem’s attack. Both sides feature combative midfielders – Musab Al-Salem and Loreintz Rosier have influenced matches lately with workrate and distribution.
The hot stat from recent games: Al Qadsiah have scored in every home game in their last ten, consistently finding the net regardless of the opposition.

Al Qadsiah vs Al-Hazem prediction
We predict Al Qadsiah to win this match. The home side hold a clear advantage in both form and attacking production. Their recent record of 14 wins in 20 league games, paired with only three losses, shows consistency. Al-Hazem’s away record and current form – just 7 wins in 21 games and a negative goal difference – suggest they lack the defensive discipline to hold out for long, especially against Al Qadsiah’s balanced 4-4-2 formation.
Al Qadsiah’s style is direct and efficient. They average just 5 yellow cards over five matches, favoring ball retention with a pass accuracy of 88% and 25 fouls committed. Al-Hazem, by contrast, play with more risk: 14 yellow cards in five matches, 40 fouls, but also 43 interceptions. This physical approach may backfire against the fluid passing and movement of Rodgers’ side. Al Qadsiah’s control in possession and their ability to draw fouls in dangerous areas gives them the edge, especially late in matches.

Team Analysis
Al Qadsiah come into this match on the back of a 2-1 win against Al-Fayha. Their last five games show solid attacking returns and an ability to grind out results – even against top sides, as seen in their 3-1 win over Al Nassr. The team’s blend of experienced defenders like Nacho Fernández and creative players such as Quiñones and Musab Al-Salem ensures a threat from open play and set pieces alike. Defensively, they have conceded in four of their last five, but their offensive power has usually compensated.
Al-Hazem drew 2-2 with Al Najma in their latest outing, reflecting both their unpredictability and defensive frailty. They have just two wins in their last five, including a 0-3 home defeat to Al-Hilal. Fábio Martins and Loreintz Rosier offer flashes of quality, but the team struggles to maintain shape under pressure. Their 40 fouls in five matches show a tendency to break up play, but this can also lead to dangerous set pieces conceded. They’re capable of scoring, but rarely keep clean sheets, especially away.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Al Qadsiah the favourite
- Moneyline Al Qadsiah 1.25 | Al-Hazem 8.00
- Draw 6.50
- Over/Under Over 2.5 1.60 | Under 2.5 2.35
- BTTS (both teams to score) Yes 1.73 | No 2.00
Bookmakers make Al Qadsiah a heavy favorite for a reason. Their home strength and attacking record outshine Al-Hazem’s inconsistent defense. The draw odds are notably high, reflecting a belief that Al-Hazem can frustrate but rarely hold out for a point. Over 2.5 goals is a strong market – both teams have shown attacking intent but defensive weaknesses. Both teams to score looks realistic given both sides’ recent defensive lapses and ability to create chances.
Possible Starting Lineups
Al Qadsiah possible starting eleven
- GK: Koen Casteels
- DF: Nacho Fernández, Gastón Álvarez, Jehad Thakri, Yasir Al-Shahrani
- MF: Nahitan Nández, Musab Al-Salem, Ali Hazazi, Otávio
- FW: Julián Quiñones, Christopher Bonsu Baah
We expect Brendan Rodgers to stick with his tried-and-tested 4-4-2. Koen Casteels is the obvious pick in goal, offering composure and good distribution. Nacho Fernández and Gastón Álvarez anchor the back line, with Thakri and Al-Shahrani providing width. Nández and Otávio control the midfield tempo, while Musab Al-Salem’s late runs and Ali Hazazi’s workrate are vital. Quiñones and Baah offer pace and creativity up front. Watch out for Musab Al-Salem – his late surges into the box often make a difference.
Al-Hazem possible starting eleven
- GK: Ibrahim Zaied
- DF: Sultan Tanker, Abdurahman Al-Dakheel, Ahmed Al-Nakhli, Saud Al-Rashid
- MF: Loreintz Rosier, Aboubacar Bah, Ahmed Al-Shamrani, Abdulaziz Al-Dwehe
- FW: Omar Al-Soma, Fábio Martins
Kadri has used a 4-2-3-1 but may adapt to 4-4-2 to match Al Qadsiah’s shape. Zaied gets the nod in goal. The back four combines experience and athleticism, but defensive lapses remain a concern. Rosier and Bah must shield the defense and distribute quickly. Out wide, Al-Shamrani and Al-Dwehe look to support two up top – Al-Soma’s finishing and Fábio Martins’ movement are keys for any chance of an away result. Loreintz Rosier’s ball-winning and distribution should be closely watched.

TipsGG Match Prediction
We predict Al Qadsiah to come out on top in a match likely to feature several goals. Their superior finishing, home momentum, and midfield control outweigh Al-Hazem’s sporadic threat. Expect the hosts to dominate possession, exploit wide areas, and force Al-Hazem into mistakes. Al-Hazem have players capable of snatching a goal, but their back line won’t withstand Al Qadsiah’s pressure for long. To be honest, anything but a home win would be a surprise here.
