Al Kholood vs Damac Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Saudi Pro League 2024-25

Damac are looking to complete a double over Al Kholood this season.

Al Kholood are ready to host Damac in match week 28 of the Saudi Pro League 2024-25 season. The interesting league fixture between the two sides will be played at the Al-Hazm Club Stadium.

Al Kholood will be at home this time around against Damac. They are in the 11th spot in the Saudi Pro League points table as of now. Al Kholood have won nine matches after contesting in 27 league games this season.

The home side have performed poorly in their last few games, which has led them to drop some points. They will be looking to fight back and avoid losing once again to Damac this season.

Damac will be feeling confident, even coming into the fight away from home. They have already defeated Kholood once this season and will be looking to repeat the same result. The visitors are in 13th place on the points table.

Damac has seen a poor run of form this season but they have a chance to finish in a better position. They have won just seven league games as of now and they will have to step up now. It is highly likely to be an evenly matched contest.

Players to Watch

Myziane Maolida (Al Kholood)

The 26-year-old Frenchman is the top goal scorer for his side in the Saudi Pro League this season. But there can be a minor concern as Myziane Maolida has not scored any goals in the last five league games.

He will be looking to make a comeback as his team needs him at this point. He has played 27 Saudi Pro League matches and has scored 12 goals so far. Maolida can do better by going further.

Georges-Kevin N’Koudou (Damac)

Georges-Kevin N’Koudou is in decent form and will be looking to step up against Al Kholood. Leading the attack from the left, N’Koudou can score goals and even come up with some valuable assists for his teammates.

He has a total of 14 goal involvements in 22 league games this season. The 30-year-old will be looking to help his team out when they take on Al Kholood. It will be interesting to see N’Koudou’s performance.
