Al Fateh vs Al Hazm prediction, preview, team news and more | Saudi Pro League 2023-24 

Al Fateh and Al Hazm battle for three points in a Saudi Pro League matchday 33 fixture on Thursday (May 23). The hosts will look to bounce back from their 3-1 defeat at Al Taee last week.

They took the lead through Djaniny in the fourth minute but were pegged back by Robert Bauer eight minutes later. Ali Al Zubaidi was sent off for Al Fateh right at the start of the second half, and Al Taee capitalized, with Bernard Mensah scoring a brace to inspire the win.

Al Hazm, meanwhile, shared the spoils in a 1-1 home draw with Al Riyadh. Bruno Viana's own goal put Riyadh ahead five minutes into the second half before Paulo Ricardo restored parity deep into injury time.

The draw left Al Hazm at the foot of the points table, having garnered 21 points from 32 games, while Al Fateh are eighth with 42 points.
