Hey there, footie fans! Ready to dive into the nitty-gritty of the Saudi Arabian
1st Division showdown that's got everyone talking? We're taking a close look at the upcoming clash between
Al Bukayriyah and
Al Hazem. Should be a cracker, right? Let's dig into it and see who’s got the edge in this tantalizing matchup set for May 7, 2025.
Al Bukayriyah overview
Al Bukayriyah have been absolutely on fire lately! Their current form is something like a blistering samba on the pitch — sizzling with confidence and a touch of flair. You can't miss Ibrahim Al-Barakah commanding the midfield like a general with his sharp passes, and the wizardry of Luvannor Henrique De Sousa up front — he's been nothing short of magical. And with Connor Pain adding that extra zing, this trio is a nightmare for any defense.
Their recent outings say it all. They've won 3 out of their last 5 games, smacking Al Safa 3-0 and making mincemeat of Al Arabi with a sound 2-0 victory. Sure, they had a slip-up against Neom SC, but hey, every dog has its day, right? What makes them tick is a solid backline, especially when Khalid Bin Shuwayyi is on song. But they do tend to get a little too relaxed after going ahead — that complacency might just bite them if they’re not careful. So, how’s
Al Hazem shaping up for this match?
Al Hazem overview
Al Hazem, on the other hand, is a bit of a rollercoaster this season. They're like a box of chocolates — you never know what you’re gonna get. The standout, Zinho Gano, is like a freight train tearing through defenses; catch him if you can! Vinícius adds finesse to the midfield with his samba skills, and let's not forget the young gun, Ibrahima Tandia, who’s been nothing but a bundle of energy.
Recent form? Well, it’s been a mixed bag. They’ve drawn 1-1 with Jeddah Club and had a hiccup against Al Najma, losing 0-2. But just when you think they’re down, they pull a rabbit out of the hat by conquering Al Arabi 2-1. Stats say their away form is a rough ride, struggling to keep consistent performances. Still, this team's got grit and grind, sometimes almost inexplicably so, like when they pulled up those surprise wins. Fun fact —
Al Hazem’s defense has allowed goals in every away game they've played lately. It keeps things spicy for us, the viewers!
League schedule released
1st Division slips back into focus now, and I’m jotting down what’s coming up—few games predictions worth pondering over. Teams are gearing up, no grand fuss, just that quiet hum before they lock horns. Anyway, here’s the rundown next. Ohod Madinah tangle with Al Jubail Club, 07 May 2025 — two sides that don’t mess about. Al Jndal line up against Al Jabalain at 06 May 2025, expect goals flying if they’ve got their shooting boots on.
That’s the lot laid out—enough to get your head spinning. 1st Division never sits still, always some twist waiting .

Al Bukayriyah win here, possibly by a 2-1 margin. They’ve been more consistent, and with the form they’re in, it's hard to bet against them. If you're throwing some bucks down, I’d play it safe and pick a home win. Sprinkle a little on both teams to score if you're feeling a bit bold —
Al Hazem will fight tooth and nail!
