This Sunday, November 5, Al Hazm and Al Wehda will face off at 15:00 (UTC) in the Saudi Arabian Saudi Professional League at Ar-Rass Stadium in Rass. With stunning weather and temperatures of 77°F, the stage is set for an exhilarating match between these two teams. After the impressive 0-2 victory for Al Wahda in their last clash back in September, enthusiasm and anticipation are high among the spectators. Both teams are striving to make a statement in this match and secure a statement victory to set the tone for a successful season.
After suffering from a difficult run of form, Al Hazm have managed to turn their fortunes around with 8 goals in their last 5 matches. They are currently 17th in the standings having earned 7 points from 11 matches. Fortunately for The Home Side, their squad is in excellent shape going into their next match. F. Selemani scored an impressive brace in their 4-4 draw in the home game against Al Raed, indicating a high goal-scoring match could be on the horizon.
After a series of strong performances on the road, Al Wehda have registered impressive results, garnering two victories and three draws from their last five matches. Away from home, their attack has found its stride, racking up eight goals in as many outings. Currently placed tenth in the standings, they have earned thirteen points from eleven matches - four wins, one draw and six losses - although their form has stumbled lately with their most recent home game ending in a 3-2 defeat to Al Ittifaq. Their preparations will be hampered by the absence of Ó. Duarte due to injury, and the team will need C. Goodwin's creativity upfront to break the opposition defence down, as he did in Al Wehda's previous match when scoring a brace.
The two clubs are no strangers to one another, having faced off on 24 occasions. Of these encounters, Al Wehda have led the way with 15 victories, whilst Al Hazm have emerged victorious in 4 and there has been even splits of 5 draws. The recent games between the two have been highly entertaining with an average of 3.33 goals being scored in each of the past 3 matches, so expect a very competitive encounter when they lock horns again!
If Al Hazm can secure a win, they would rise to a top tier position in the league standings, potentially leading to better prospects in the upcoming season. This could be a powerful source of motivation for the team on their home turf.
