Game Preview
Bookies think there are four teams that will battle for the SPL trophy this season. The reigning champion Al Ittihad Jeddah is the No. 1 favorite (+140), followed by Al Hilal (+220), the team that’s recently signed Neymar. Then, there are Al Nassr Riyadh and Al Ahli Jedan, each with Saudi Pro League odds in the ballpark of +500.
Bookies predict the 2023-24 season is going to be incredibly thrilling and we can only agree. That’s why, if they want to challenge for the title, CR7 & Co. will have to continue winning, especially against weaker teams such as Al Hazem.

Unlike Al Nassr, which has Cristiano Ronaldo, Sadio Mane, Marcelo Brozovic, Otavio, and other international soccer stars, the core of Al Hazem’s roster is made up of relatively unknown players. Their most valuable player is Portuguese playmaker Toze, who previously played for Al Nasr of the UAE League.
Al Hazem vs. Al Nassr Prediction
The Al Hazem vs. Al Nassr odds are heavily in favor of the visiting team. The boys from the Saudi capital come with the SPL odds in the ballpark of -700. This is because Al Nassr is one of the best teams in the league, and Al Hazem is not. Actually, Al Hazem is one of the worst teams in the 2023-24 Saudi Pro League.
