Overall Pro League results playing at home this season for Al Nassr are 3-1-2 (wins-draws-losses).

In the game before, an away victory in the Pro League match versus Al Hilal with a 2-0 scoreline.

Al Hazm form and stats

There's been little loot from Al Hazm's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 6 away games in the Pro League. Al Hazm only have 1 win to counter their 4 defeats and 1 draw.

The attacking players of Hazm have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 557 minutes.

Two away games in a row for Al Hazm, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-1 versus Al Batin in the Kings Cup. Late heartbreak for Hazm in the Al Batin match, as the deciding 0-1 goal came deep into overtime.

A 0-0 draw at Al Batin's stadium before that.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Al Hazm playing away, we found two games. Results were zero away wins, zero draws and two home wins.

Al Hazm are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 1 goal from 6 away games. 6 goals have been conceded by Hazm in these games.

Head 2 Head

Previous ten meetings involving these teams: Nassr won seven, Al Hazm triumphed in two and we saw one draw. six games with over 2,5 goals, four matches with two goals or less.
