Welcome to our Al Hilal vs Al Hazem prediction, where we break down everything you need to know about this Saudi Pro League encounter on January 8, 2026. Whether you’re a seasoned bettor or a curious football fan, we’ll guide you through the latest stats, tactical trends, and betting tips for this much-anticipated fixture at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh.
Let’s set the stage. Al Hilal, currently sitting second in the league, are in red-hot form. They’ve won all of their last five matches, notching up 15 goals while conceding just four. With 29 points from 11 games (9 wins, 2 draws), their +18 goal difference tells a story of dominance. Al Hazem, meanwhile, occupy 10th place, with a more modest record: 3 wins, 4 draws, and 4 losses, with a -5 goal difference. Both teams have found the net in four of Al Hazem’s last five outings, so expect some action at both ends.
Historically, the head to head record heavily favors Al Hilal. Out of their last 10 meetings, Hilal have won 7, drawn 2, and lost just once. The last time they met, on May 11, 2024, Al Hilal ran out 4-1 winners, clinching their 19th Saudi title. Names like Aleksandar Mitrovic and Sergej Milinković-Savić were on the scoresheet, while Faïz Selemani netted for Hazem. In terms of betting tips, the odds for a home win are extremely short at 1.17, reflecting Al Hilal’s strong position.
Al Hilal’s coach Simone Inzaghi, appointed in June 2025, has kept the team ticking, while Jalel Kadri is at the helm for Al Hazem. There are no major injury concerns reported, but keep an eye out for late team news before kick-off.
Now, let’s talk numbers and probabilities—because that’s what we love at NerdyTips. Our AI-generated Al Hilal vs Al Hazem prediction aligns closely with the bookmakers:
For those who love a good stat, Al Hilal have scored 14 times in their last five matches and are unbeaten in their last eight against Al Hazem. The Kingdom Arena’s 30,000 fans will be hoping for more of the same. And if you’re feeling nostalgic, remember when Al Hilal stunned Manchester City 4-3 away in July 2025? This team knows how to rise to big occasions.
All signs point to another strong performance from Al Hilal, but don’t count Al Hazem out completely—they have a knack for surprising results, like their 4-4 draw with Al Nassr last year. Still, our Al Hilal vs Al Hazem prediction is a home win, with at least three goals in the match. If you’re looking for betting tips, over 2.5 goals is a smart choice, and a 2:1 scoreline looks likely. However, as always, football has a way of defying the odds—so enjoy the game, and may your bets be as accurate as our AI!
