Al-Ahli vs Damac Predicted lineup, betting tips, odds, injury news, H2H, telecast | Saudi Pro League 2024-25
Both sides are struggling this season.
Al-Ahli have not lived up to the mark given the quality squad they boast. They are currently languishing ninth in the Saudi Pro League table, further evidenced by their poor performance. Despite playing sub-par football their defence has been rock solid as in their last six games.
They have allowed just two goals to enter the net in those games. All that remains to be seen is whether or not this pattern will continue when they next play Damac.
Damac will enter the match having defeated Al-Okhdood 3-1 in the Saudi Pro League in their previous match, which was their first win of the league season. They have played poor football since the start of the new term. Out of three games they have only secured one win.
If they are looking to climb up the table they will need to step up their performance. They are next facing Al Ahli who possess plenty of talented stars who can make a big impact.

Players to watch
Al-Ahli: Ivan Toney
Ivan Toney has started two games for Al Ahli but is yet to open his account for the club. Against Damac, he will have an excellent chance to finally score a goal for his side. The former Premier League striker will be keen to score a good number of goals this season and lead the club to the title given they have many top players in the squad. Toney’s presence in the box makes him an intriguing striker and hopefully, he will score a goal for the Saudi side.
Damac: Georges N’Koudou
Georges N’Koudou has been key for Damac. The winger operates on the left flank and cuts inside on his right foot to create scoring chances. He also sometimes looks for space to find a shooting angle. He is one of the biggest threats of Damac and his presence gives the Saudi team a cutting edge in the attack.
