Al-Qadsiah host Al-Hazem in the Saudi Pro League on Thursday evening, 14 May 2026, with both sides arriving in very different places in the table. Brendan Rodgers’ team are fourth and pushing to finish the campaign as strongly as possible, while Jalel Kadri’s Al-Hazem sit ninth and still have enough to worry about at the wrong end of the division if results turn against them. There’s no trophy on the line here, but there is still plenty at stake. Al-Qadsiah want to keep their grip on a top-four finish and carry momentum into the final stretch. Al-Hazem need points to stop the season from flattening out badly.
The league picture tells you plenty. Al-Qadsiah have 71 points from 32 matches, with a 21-8-3 record and a superb 76 goals scored. Al-Hazem are on 39 points from 32, with 36 goals scored and 55 conceded. That gap is real. Yet this isn’t just a top-four side turning up to steamroll a lower-half team. Al-Hazem have scored in enough games to make life awkward, and Al-Qadsiah haven’t exactly been shutting everyone out. Goals look likely. More than likely, actually.
Al-Qadsiah come into this one in lively mood. Their last six league matches have been a proper mix of control and chaos, but the important thing is that they’re getting results. They went to Al-Ettifaq on 5 April and lost 3-2 in a game that opened them up far too easily. Since then, though, the response has been strong enough to keep Rodgers happy. They drew 1-1 away at Damac, came from the sort of game that tests patience and nerve. Then they shared four goals with Al-Shabab in a 2-2 home draw on 14 April. That was followed by a ruthless 4-0 win at Al-Riyadh on 29 April, a statement result if ever there was one.
The real mood swing came in May. Al-Qadsiah beat Al-Nassr 3-1 at home on 3 May, and that one mattered. It wasn’t just another win. It was the sort of performance that tells the rest of the league they can’t be brushed aside. Then they travelled to Al-Fayha on 9 May and edged a 2-1 win, with Musab Al Juwayr, Fashion Sakala and Gabriel Carvalho on the scoresheet. That makes it five league matches unbeaten since the loss at Al-Ettifaq. They’ve won their last three. Nice timing. You’d take that every day of the week.
At home, Al-Qadsiah have been almost absurdly reliable. Their record at their own ground is 10 wins, 6 draws and no defeats, with 38 goals scored and only 13 conceded. That’s the backbone of a side sitting fourth. They’ve been direct, productive and very hard to rattle on familiar turf. The one nagging issue is that they don’t always keep the back door locked. They’ve gone six straight meetings without a clean sheet against Al-Hazem, and even in a strong home campaign there’s a sense that if they push bodies forward, the visitors can nick something. Still, first to score? That’s been their thing. They’ve done it in six straight in the league.
Al-Hazem’s recent run is a mixed bag, and that’s being kind. They’ve won a couple, drawn a couple and lost a couple across their last six, but the timing of those results tells a sharper story. On 3 April they lost 1-0 away to Al-Ittihad, which was respectable enough. Then they beat Al-Fayha 2-0 at home on 11 April and followed that with a 2-1 win over Al-Riyadh on 24 April. For a brief spell, they looked like a side capable of stringing together a decent run and finishing with some dignity.
That spark has faded in the last two outings. They drew 1-1 away at Neom SC on 28 April, then were beaten 3-0 at home by Al-Hilal on 2 May. Last time out, they threw away a point at Al-Najma SC, finishing 2-2 on 9 May after a hectic first half that featured goals from Felippe Cardoso and Omar Al Soma, followed by two more before the break. They never really controlled that match. Their away form remains patchy, and the sense is that when the game gets stretched, they’re more exposed than they should be.
The numbers on the road are decent but not convincing. Al-Hazem’s away record stands at three wins, seven draws and six defeats, with 16 goals scored and 25 conceded. That tells you they can stay competitive, but they’re rarely dominant away from home. They don’t score enough to trust, and they don’t defend well enough to bank on a clean sheet. Three away wins in 16 is thin stuff. They also come into this without a win in three, and that’s exactly the sort of run that gets longer if they start slowly. Against Al-Qadsiah, that would be a major problem.
Still, they’re not a total write-off. They’ve scored in enough recent games to suggest they’ll ask questions, and they’ve generally found a way to make matches messy. Al-Qadsiah’s home record is strong, yes, but not spotless in style. If Al-Hazem can land the first punch or simply keep the game alive into the second half, there’s a route to troubling the hosts. Mind you, that’s easier said than done when you’re facing a team that’s been first to score in six straight league games.
This fixture has been lively enough to catch the eye. The most recent meeting came on 18 January 2026, when Al-Qadsiah went to Al-Hazem and won 5-1 in the Saudi Pro League. That was a proper battering, and it still hangs over this rematch. Before that, they met in the King’s Cup on 28 October 2025, with Al-Qadsiah winning 3-1 at home. So the recent trend is clear: Al-Qadsiah have had the upper hand, and by some distance.
Go back further and you find a more even, scrappier history, but it still leans towards goals. The last six head-to-head meetings include five games where both teams scored. Al-Qadsiah also haven’t lost the last three against Al-Hazem. That won’t fill the visitors with comfort. This one usually produces chances, and there’s enough evidence to think the same pattern can repeat here. Clean sheets? Not often in this pairing. That’s the plain truth.
We’re backing Both Teams To Score at 4/6 for this one. It’s not a flashy call, but it’s the right one. Al-Qadsiah have been scoring for fun at home and have found the net first in six straight league matches, yet they’ve also been open enough to give opponents a look. Al-Hazem have scored in recent away games, too, and they’ve made enough of a nuisance of themselves to believe they can nick one in a match like this.
The head-to-head record points in the same direction. Five of the last six meetings have seen both teams score, and the most recent clash ended 5-1 to Al-Qadsiah, which tells you the ceiling for this game is high. A 2-1 home win feels the best fit. Al-Qadsiah should have too much quality, especially at their ground, but Al-Hazem are good enough to make the net shake at both ends. If you want a small side angle, Al-Qadsiah to win and both teams to score is the stronger combo play.
