Al Hilal vs Al Hazem Prediction: Will Riyadh Witness Another Goal Fest?

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.

Form, Tactics, and Players to Watch

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.

  • Al Hilal have a habit of scoring early, especially between the 30-45 minute mark, and average 3 goals per game.
  • Al Hazem concede most often in the 60-75 minute period, so their defenders might want to skip the half-time oranges and stay alert.

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.

Key Players and Tactical Nuances

  • Marcos Leonardo leads Al Hilal’s attack with 6 goals and 8 shots on target.
  • Malcom is a creative force with 9 big chances created.
  • Sergej Milinković-Savić and Rúben Neves pull the strings in midfield, while Kalidou Koulibaly anchors the defense.
  • For Al Hazem, Fábio Martins (3 goals) and Amir Sayoud (5 big chances created) are the ones to watch, with Omar Al Somah always a threat up front.

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.

AI Betting Tips, Predictions, and What to Expect

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:

  1. 1x2 Market: The home win (Al Hilal) is priced at 1.17 with a trust rating of 10.0/10. The draw is at 8.9, and an away win is a whopping 16.0. In other words, if Al Hazem pull off a win, you might want to frame your betting slip!
  2. Over/Under 2.5 Goals: The best tip here is over 2.5 goals (odds 1.33, trust rating 5.4/10). Both teams have shown they can score, and with Al Hilal averaging 19 shots per game, expect plenty of goalmouth action.
  3. Final Score Prediction: Our AI sees a 2:1 victory for Al Hilal, with a 1:1 scoreline at half-time. That suggests Hazem could keep things interesting early on before Hilal’s quality shines through.
  • Possession: Al Hilal are forecast to dominate the ball with 70% possession.
  • Shots: Expect 19 from the home side (7 on target), compared to 4 from Hazem (1 on target).
  • Corners and Cards: 8 corners for Hilal, 1 for Hazem. Yellow cards? 1 for the hosts, 3 for the visitors—so Hazem’s defenders might be busy!

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.

Conclusion: Our Al Hilal vs Al Hazem Prediction

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!
