Al Hazem vs Al-Shabab Prediction and Betting Tips | March 14th 2024

Al Hazem will face Al-Shabab at the Al-Hazem Club Stadium on Thursday in another round of the 2023-24 Saudi Professional League campaign.

The home side have struggled for results in the league this season and are now staring down the relegation barrel with a third of the campaign left to play. They were beaten 1-0 by Al Tai in their last match falling behind after just six minutes and failing to find a way back into the game despite dominating possession.

Al Hazem sit rock-bottom in the league table with just 15 points from 23 games and will be desperate for a result here as they seek to exit the drop zone.

Al-Shabab have also had their struggles in the Saudi Arabian top flight this season and currently find themselves in the bottom-half of the pile. They were beaten 3-2 by Al-Fayha in their game last week and had looked set to be headed toward a point after former Strasbourg man Habib Diallo headed home a late leveler before their opponents reclaimed the lead at the death.
