Al-Ettifaq is currently facing difficulties in the league, having recorded two draws and three losses in their recent five league games. Notably, they have been without a league victory in their last seven matches. Their latest league encounter against Ronaldo's Al-Nassr resulted in a 3-1 defeat, and they aspire to return to winning ways in the upcoming match against Hazm on Thursday. To achieve a commendable position in the Saudi Pro League this season, Al-Ettifaq must prioritize enhancing their overall performance.

The team's overall showing this season has been somewhat unpredictable, marked by six losses since the beginning of the campaign. Their league statistics encompass 6 wins, 6 draws, and 6 losses out of 18 games played. Notable contributors to the team's success include Quaison and Dembele, who have collectively scored 3 and 5 goals, respectively, this season.

Al-Hazm continues to grapple with challenges in the ongoing league season, occupying the bottom position on the league table with only two victories thus far. Their recent league match against Al-Ahli concluded in a devastating 4-0 defeat, and they might be heading towards another setback as they face Ettifaq on Thursday. Amidst challenging circumstances, Al-Hazm maintains an overall league record for the season, featuring two wins, six draws, and ten losses from 18 games played.

A critical look at their last 5 encounters produced 4 victories for Al-Ettifaq and a win for Hazm.

Al-Ettifaq's winless streak in the league has extended to seven consecutive matches, just one short of their longest stretch without a win since the 2021-22 campaign. They aim to conclude the year with a victory on Thursday. Al-Hazem is considered an inferior opponent to the Commandos, making a win or draw for Ettifaq a reliable choice. Facing a team with defensive vulnerabilities like Al-Hazm might be the catalyst Al-Ettifaq needs to regain momentum, and we place our trust in them to score at least two goals in this encounter at odds of 1.60.
