• Competition: Saudi Arabia Professional League
• Date: 28.12.2023
• Kickoff: 15:00 UK / 16:00 CET
• Venue: Prince Mohamed bin Fahd Stadium (Dammam)

The football championship in Saudi Arabia is currently at its peak. Numerous European football stars have made their way to the country, intensifying the competition and enhancing the quality of the game. Al Ettifaq, a mid-table club, hasn’t secured a win in its last seven matches, thereby jeopardizing its opportunity to compete for a higher rank. Notable players such as Mousa Dembele, Henderson, and Wijnaldum are part of this club’s roster.

In the 19th round, they will face off against Al Hazem, the team currently at the bottom of the league. Al Hazem, with their mere 12 points, are struggling to remain in the top tier next season. They are trailing Al Raed, currently in 15th place, by 4 points. Al Hazem suffered a devastating 4-0 defeat at home to Al Ahli in the last round. Notably, they have yet to secure a win in any away game this season.

Al Ettifaq vs Al Hazem pick: AL EETIFAQ TO WIN

The home team, Al Ettifaq, needs to put an end to their recent poor performances. Despite possessing the quality to be in the top 5, their progress has been severely hindered due to disappointing results in recent months. Around a year ago, they managed a resounding 5-2 victory against this same opponent at home. Al Hazem, on the other hand, have yet to secure a win in an away game, although they usually manage to net at least one goal, which could also be the case this time. Nonetheless, we anticipate Al Ettifaq to emerge victorious due to their superior player quality, who need to rectify the poor impression given by their recent matches.
