Feb 26th features a match where Al Hilal will play host to Al Hazm in a clash of these two extremely mismatched Pro League teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 27 degrees, which will be a great treat for players. Al Hilal is fresh off their 5-0 blowout win against Al Shabab. Odion Ighalo struck first for Al Hilal in the 18th minute on a feed from André Carrillo, then André Carrillo added another in the 25th minute At the end of 90 a dissapointed Al Shabab couldn’t manage to score, and Al Hilal took the shutout win. Al Hilal should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 18 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, 16th placed Al Hazm, recorded a 0-1 loss against Al Fateh. Firas Albirakan scored the first goal for Al Fateh in the 72nd minute, and that was all the excitement the two teams could muster In the end, Al Hazm was frustrated by Al Fateh’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Al Fateh ended the match with the shutout victory. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 4 points in their last 10 matches.
In their last match together, Al Hazm and Al Hilal battled to a 1-1 draw. Bafetimbi Gomis scored the first goal for Al Hilal in the 57th minute, but Mohammed Rharsalla got the equalizer for Al Hazm in the 73rd minute earning them at least the one point.
Ola John has been the most prolific scorer on Al Hazm in the last five matches with two goals. Al Hilal is glad to have Moussa Marega in top form. In the last 5 matches the attacker has scored five goals.
