What Happened
Al Hazem is set to face Al Ittihad in a critical match in the Saudi Pro League on Tuesday, February 24, 2026, at Al-Rass Stadium. This fixture, originally postponed from round 10, comes at a pivotal time for both teams. Al Hazem enters the match after suffering a heavy 4-0 defeat against Al Nassr, marking just one win in their last five league matches. Conversely, Al Ittihad, the defending champions, are looking to bounce back after a recent draw against Al Hilal, which has left them in sixth place on the league table.
Why It Matters
This match is significant for both teams as they navigate their respective challenges in the league. Al Ittihad aims to solidify their position in the standings and maintain momentum after a series of inconsistent performances. With 38 points, they are keen to climb higher in the title race. Meanwhile, Al Hazem, currently in the middle of the table, seeks to avoid the relegation zone and improve their form after a disappointing run of results. The outcome of this match could have implications for both teams’ aspirations as the season progresses.
What’s Next
Kick-off is scheduled for 10:00 PM Mecca time, and the match will be broadcast live on Thamanya Sports, the exclusive rights holder for the Saudi league in the Arab region. Fans in the UK can catch the action on DAZN, which holds the rights to several Saudi Pro League matches. As both teams prepare for this encounter, Al Ittihad is expected to be the favorite, although a low-scoring match is anticipated due to their recent struggles with fluency in attack.
