Al Ahli – Al Hazem Preview: Team Form, Recent News, and Possible Lineups
Read all about the two teams ahead of their duel here, including our predicted Al Ahli vs Al Hazem lineups:
Al Ahli
After spending a season in Division 1 due to their surprising relegation from Saudi Pro League in 2022, the three-time Saudi Arabia champions and one of the biggest teams in the country are back in the top tier. Not only that, but the team was very active in the summer transfer window, bringing big names like Edouard Mendy, Riyad Mahrez, Roberto Firmino, and Allan Saint-Maximin to Jeddah in attempt to fight for the title this season. The team also signed Franck Kessie from Barcelona, but he likely wont' be ready to play in this match.
Al Ahli Predicted Lineup:
Mendy – Alioski, Al-Hamad, Hindi, Al-Hurayji – Otayf, Barrow, Saint-Maximin, Al-Rashidi, Mahrez – Firmino
Al Hazem
Just like their opponents in the first round of the new Saudi Pro League season, Al Hazem also earned promotion from Division One last year, finishing third in the competition, four points behind Al Ahli. Unlike Al Alhi though, Al Hazem's goal is not being at the top, but securing a place in top tier for the next season as well.
Al Hazem Predicted Lineup:
Dahmen – Viana, Ricardo, Tanker, Al-Dakeel – Al-Bakr, Al-Habashi, Vina, Toze, Selemani – Al-Shammari,

Player to Watch: Riyad Mahrez
After spending nearly a decade in the Premier League and winning multiple titles with Leicester and Man City, Riyad Mahrez signed for Al Ahli this summer and he is our player to watch in this game.
The 32-year-old Algerian winger is a spectacular player and we can certainly see him being succesful in Saudi Pro League, starting with his first match against Al Hazem.
