Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 900 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.

These are full days for the host team, as they had a game only three days ago in the AFC Champions League. Thankfully the previous game, versus Al Quwa Al Jawiya, was also a home game here at Prince Abdullah al-Faisal Stadium. The away team is better rested.

Al Hazm form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team, who have the most conceded goals (26) in Pro League, on their Pro League travels is 0 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Al Hazm have lost on their last two travels.

Al Hazm go into this game after a win, the home game against Al Raed that ended 4-3. Eureka; their first three points in the league after nine matches not winning. An insane fixture with an abundance of goals last time out for Hazm, as mentioned above. 7 goals in that match, will this fixture be as exciting?

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Dhamk wasn't a success with a 1-4 loss.

Sports betting fact: Both teams have scored at least one goal in 8 of this club's latest 10 league fixtures.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Kings Cup trip to Al Hilal.

The attacking power of Al Hazm when travelling is not overwhelming with 4 goals scored from 5 league matches away. The Al Hazm manager Izquierdo has some worries about the defense as 12 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

Head-to-head numbers (for the previous ten meetings): Ittihad won seven games, two matches ended with a tie and Al Hazm got one win. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: eight / two.
