Can Al Hazm turn home resilience into a result, or will Al Taawoun’s stronger edge on the road tell again?
Al Hazm welcome Al Taawoun in a Saudi Pro League meeting that brings contrasting rhythms into focus. The visitors arrive with the stronger overall profile, but the numbers also point to a competitive contest rather than a one-sided affair.
Al Hazm come into this match with modest overall numbers, winning 2 of their last 6 and averaging 1.17 goals scored. Their home record is notably stronger, though, with 4 wins from 6 and 1.67 goals per game at home, suggesting they are far more competitive in familiar surroundings.
Their matches tend to stay manageable in terms of total goals, with 83% of games finishing under 3.5 and every recent outing clearing 1.5 goals. With no tournament congestion and no recent news concerns, Al Hazm should be able to lean on their home setup and try to keep the game tight before looking to exploit moments in transition.
The head-to-head record leans clearly toward Al Taawoun, who have won 3 of the last 6 meetings while the other 3 ended level. Al Hazm are still searching for a first H2H win in this sequence, and the low average total of 1.17 goals suggests these clashes have usually been tightly managed.
That pattern is reinforced by the scoring profile: 83% of meetings have gone over 1.5 goals, but only 33% have cleared 3.5, which points to a controlled contest rather than a shootout. History therefore gives the visitors a slight edge, while still leaving room for a narrow and fairly cautious match.

Al Taawoun arrive with slightly better attacking output overall, averaging 1.67 goals across their last 6, and their away form is the more convincing part of the profile. They are unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 on the road, scoring 2.17 goals per away match, which gives them a clear platform even if results have been mixed.
The away side also fits a pattern of controlled, competitive games, with 83% of their matches going under 3.5 and no signs of fixture congestion to dilute selection strength. With no recent news to alter the picture, Al Taawoun should still expect to create enough chances to trouble a home side that has been respectable but not dominant.
