Al Ittihad host Al Hazm on the third matchday of the Saudi Arabia Pro League on August 24, 2026. The fixture is scheduled to begin at 18:00 local time at Alinma Stadium in Jeddah. Both clubs have already experienced contrasting outcomes during the opening two rounds, but the hosts enter this contest unbeaten in the competition. Al Ittihad have collected one win and one draw, while Al Hazm have recorded one victory and one defeat. With the teams ranked seventh and ninth respectively, this match offers an early opportunity to build momentum and move forward in the standings.

Al Ittihad Recent Form and Key Statistics

Al Ittihad began their Pro League campaign with a 1-1 draw against Al Kholood before earning a 1-0 away victory over Al-Qadsiah on August 21. That result followed a 3-0 Kings Cup win against Al Najma, giving the hosts consecutive clean sheets across their latest two reported fixtures. Their current league record stands at one win, one draw and no defeats, with an average of 1.0 goal scored and 0.5 conceded per game.

The broader form line is also encouraging. Across their last five matches, Al Ittihad have registered three wins and two draws, remaining undefeated while averaging 2.2 goals scored and only 0.8 conceded. Those numbers present a stronger attacking picture than their first two league matches alone, where they have scored twice. The challenge on matchday three will be to translate that wider productivity into another positive Pro League performance.

Al Ittihad have also started recent games well. They have been ahead at half-time in each of their last three matches and avoided a half-time deficit in 26 of their previous 29 Pro League fixtures. At home, they have not been behind at the interval in 18 of their last 20 matches. These trends highlight the importance of the opening period, particularly against an Al Hazm side that will be looking to recover from defeat.

Corner data provides another notable feature of Al Ittihad's home fixtures. More than 7.5 corners have been taken in each of their last 18 home matches across all listed competitions, including their previous 16 at home in the Pro League. In addition, only two of their last ten home games have ended without a goal, indicating that a scoreless contest has been relatively uncommon over that sequence.

Al Hazm Recent Form and Key Statistics

Al Hazm arrive after suffering a 1-0 home loss to Al Draih on August 21. It was their first defeat of the league campaign and the first time they had failed to score this season. Their Pro League record is now one win and one loss, with averages of 1.0 goal scored and 1.0 conceded per match.

Over their last five outings, the visitors have produced three victories and two defeats, scoring an average of 1.4 goals while conceding 1.2 per game. This sequence shows that Al Hazm have been capable of collecting wins, although their latest setback interrupted that progress. Their immediate task is to restore an attacking threat after being held scoreless in the previous round.

The away defensive statistics represent a significant concern. Al Hazm have conceded at least once in each of their last 12 away matches in the Pro League. That run creates a demanding situation against an Al Ittihad team that has averaged 2.2 goals over its latest five fixtures. Al Hazm may need to improve defensively while also finding a route to goal if they are to secure a result in Jeddah.

Second-half action has been a recurring feature of the visitors' league matches. At least one goal has been scored after half-time in 24 of Al Hazm's last 26 Pro League games. Combined with Al Ittihad's strong half-time record, this statistic suggests that the contest may continue to develop after the interval rather than being decided exclusively by the opening stages.

Al Ittihad vs Al Hazm Match Analysis

The recent head-to-head record favors Al Ittihad. In the five-match summary supplied for this fixture, the hosts have collected three wins and two draws without a defeat, averaging 2.0 goals scored and 1.0 conceded. The most recent meeting ended in a 1-0 Al Ittihad victory on April 3, 2026. Al Hazm are also described as winless across the last seven meetings, although three draws in that sequence demonstrate that they have sometimes been able to avoid defeat.

Several indicators point toward the home side. Al Ittihad are unbeaten in five matches, have recorded back-to-back clean sheets in their latest reported games and have not lost any of their opening two league fixtures. Al Hazm, by contrast, come into the match after a 1-0 defeat and carry a sequence of 12 consecutive Pro League away games in which they have conceded. The supplied probabilities give Al Ittihad a 60% chance of winning, compared with 21% for a draw and 19% for an Al Hazm victory. The decimal match odds are 1.54 for Al Ittihad, 4.70 for the draw and 4.67 for Al Hazm.

Goals remain another relevant part of the preview. Both Teams To Score and Over 2.5 goals are each rated at 56%, while their opposing outcomes are listed at 44%. Al Hazm's average of 1.4 goals across their last five matches shows some recent scoring capacity despite the blank against Al Draih. However, Al Ittihad's superior unbeaten run, favorable direct record and the visitors' extended sequence of conceding away from home provide the clearest basis for the final assessment.
