Despite the holiday period leading to fewer events, bettors remain optimistic about the upcoming fixtures. This Thursday features an intriguing array of matches, particularly in the Saudi Pro League and Algerian Ligue 1.
Al Fayha vs Al Hazem
In a captivating Christmas clash, Al Fayha will host Al Hazem at King Salman Sport City Stadium as both teams look to reclaim momentum in the Saudi Pro League. Following a break of nearly four weeks, each team is eager to secure a positive outcome and improve their league positions. Al Fayha’s recent form has been inconsistent, with one win, two draws, and two defeats in their last five matches. The team endured a setback in their recent encounter against Al-Ettifaq, losing 2-3. However, their home performance remains solid, with only three losses in their last 15 matches, including five victories.
Al Hazem, positioned just below Al Fayha in the league standings, boasts a modest record of two wins among nine matches, currently sitting in 12th place with nine points. Their morale is buoyant after a recent 2-1 win against Al Kholood, and they aim to carry that confidence into this fixture.
Possible Lineups
🔖Al Fayha possible starting lineup: Mosquera; Al-Baqawi, Villanueva, Smalling, Bamsaud; Benzia, Semedo, Al-Harthi; Vrontis, Jason, Ganvoula.
🔖Al Hazem possible starting lineup: Varela; Tunkar, Rosier, Boutouil; Al-Rashed, Martins, Al-Sayyali, Al-Dhuwayhi; Al-Nakhli; Al-Shammari, Al Somah.

Al Riyadh vs Al Ettifag
Al Riyadh faces Al Ettifaq in what promises to be an intense encounter at the Prince Faisal Bin Fahd Stadium. Occupying the lower end of the league standings, Al Riyadh’s performance has been lackluster, garnering only one win from their last five outings, placing them perilously close to relegation. Their latest fixture resulted in a narrow 1-2 defeat to Al-Ittihad, highlighting costly defensive errors despite showing competitive spirit.
Conversely, Al Ettifaq holds a comfortable position in the league with 12 points, thanks to a recent 2-0 victory over Al Riyadh. Their solid defense and strategic attack have contributed to their mid-table standing, and they will be looking to build on this form.
Possible Lineups
🔖Al Riyadh possible starting lineup: Borjan; Al-Boardi, Alkhaibari, Barbet, Hazazi; Okou, Toze, Gonzalez, Sahlouli, Sylla; Haji.
🔖Al Ettifaq possible starting lineup: Rodak; Khateeb, Hendry, Hindi, Calvo; Mukhtar, Medran; Nkota, Wijnaldum, Dawran; Dembele.
- Bet on: Over 2.5
Belouizdad vs Setif
In the Algerian Ligue 1, Belouizdad, currently positioned in the middle of the table, will take on Setif who are battling in the lower half. Belouizdad has shown remarkable improvement, securing three of their four wins in the last five matches, accumulating 17 points in total. Their ascent could see them contend for a top-three finish, as they retain two games in hand.
In contrast, Setif continues their fight for survival and while they have displayed commendable form, Belouizdad’s resurgence makes them the likely favorites in this matchup, particularly with the home advantage.
Possible Lineups
🔖Belouizdad possible starting lineup: F. Chaal, H. Benayada, C. Keddad, A. Bekkour, Y. A. Laouafi, A. Belhocini, A. Benguit, H. Selmi, F. El Melal, M. Hammouda, L. Boussouar.
