The Saudi Arabian
1st Division prepares for yet another riveting fixture as
Al Hazem takes on
Al-Najma on April 8, 2025. With both teams striving to solidify their positions in the league, this match has generated keen interest among fans and pundits alike. Though they’ve only faced each other once before—
Al-Najma emerging victorious—this meeting offers a fresh canvas for both sides to paint their narratives.
Players to Watch and Notable Absences
Al Hazem’s line-up boasts several standout performers, notably forward Ahmed Saleh, whose knack for finding the net has been pivotal in recent matches. Midfielder Khalid Omar provides a creative spark in the middle, orchestrating plays with precision. On defense, Ali Al-Qahtani has been a rock, known for his timely interceptions and strength in tackles. Meanwhile, goalkeeper Saeed Al-Harbi’s shot-stopping abilities have saved the team on numerous occasions. However, the squad has been hit by the absence of key defender Faisal Al-Mutairi due to suspension, and midfielder Yassir Al-Shamrani, sidelined with an injury, will be missed for his playmaking skills.
Al-Najma, on the other hand, relies heavily on their talismanic striker, Abdullah Al-Salem, who’s been in prolific form, consistently finding the back of the net. Midfielder Omar Al-Dossari, known for his work rate and vision, adds depth to the team’s midfield dynamics. Defensively, Nasser Al-Mutlaq has been a pillar, ensuring the backline remains solid. Between the sticks, veteran goalkeeper Majed Al-Mousa provides leadership and experience. Yet, they’ll miss winger Fahad Al-Faraj, out due to injury, and versatile defender Sami Al-Harbi, who’s suspended for this encounter.
