Al Hazem will welcome the in-form Al Nassr on Saturday in their next Saudi Pro League match. The hosts arrive for this match sitting in 16th place in the standings while Al Nassr are sixth. Al Hazem are yet to register a win after four rounds of play. They have lost twice and have managed two points. This unconvincing start to their return to the top flight has them in the relegation zone. Filipe Gouveia’s charges started the season with back-to-back defeats, one being a 2-0 loss at home to Al Ittifaq. They have responded by drawing their last two matches with the latest being a 1-1 share of the spoils with Al Khaleej. Goals have been hard to come by for Hazem Al-Samood. They have scored just two goals and have failed to score twice, once at home.

Al Nassr have won the last three encounters with Al Hazem. Two of those victories have come while away. Coupling this with their red-hot form, Luis Castro’s charges will be confident of coming away with another win here. Al Alami have won their last three games, scoring 13 goals and conceding just two. Their last win was a 4-0 thumping of Al Shabab. This was their second league win which moved them up to six points. Al Nassr had the worst possible start to the campaign perhaps due to the hangover of their Asia Club Championship Cup triumph. The Knights of Najd suffered back-to-back defeats against Al Taawon and Al Ittifaq. They would bounce back with a 4-2 win against UAE’s Shabab Al Ahli in the Champions League. Sadio Mane and Cristiano Ronaldo have scored eight of Al Nassr’s last nine goals.
