Preview: Al Taawon Hosts Al Hazm in Saudi Pro League Clash

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (Interstat) — Al Taawon looks to continue its strong domestic form when it hosts struggling Al Hazm in a Saudi Pro League match on Thursday, Jan. 22, 2026.

The matchup at Al Taawon Club Stadium pits one of the league’s most potent attacks against a defense that has been routinely breached this season.

Al Taawon (10-2-3) enters on a high after a commanding 3-1 away victory over Al Riyadh on Sunday. That win was characteristic of their campaign, having scored three or more goals in six of their 15 matches. Their offensive firepower was on full display in a 6-1 rout of Damac and a 5-2 win at Al Fateh earlier this season.

Conversely, Al Hazm (3-4-8) is reeling from a 5-1 home defeat to Al Qadisiyah on Sunday, a result that underscored its defensive vulnerabilities. The club has conceded four or more goals in three matches this season, including losses to Al Khaleej (4-1) and Al Nassr (2-0).

Recent form heavily favors the hosts. Al Taawon is unbeaten in its last five league matches (4-1-0), while Al Hazm has managed just one win in its last five outings (1-1-3).

Historically, Al Taawon has dominated this fixture, winning the last three meetings by a combined score of 9-1. Their most recent encounter ended in a 3-0 victory for Al Taawon.

Despite the stark contrast in momentum, the Interstat game simulator projects a 1-1 draw for Thursday’s contest. For that to happen, Al Hazm must significantly tighten a defense that has allowed a league-worst 31 goals. Al Taawon will rely on its dynamic attack, which has netted 35 goals, second only to the league’s top contenders.

Following this match, Al Taawon faces a challenging stretch with fixtures against Al Khaleej, Damac and powerhouse Al Hilal. Al Hazm’s schedule remains difficult, with upcoming matches against Al Ahli Saudi Club and Al Ittihad FC.

Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. local time at Al Taawon Club Stadium in Buraidah.
