Preview: Al Nassr vs Damac prediction, odds, where to watch, time | Saudi Pro League 2025-26

The Global Ones are on a five-match winning run against the Knights of the South.

Al Nassr are all set to lock horns with Damac Club for their final matchweek of the 2025-26 Saudi Pro League. This is going to be a high-stakes fixture, which is scheduled to take place at Al-Awwal Park.

The Jorge Jesus-led side are coming in after losing in the AFC Champions League Two final against Gamba Osaka. It was a lacklustre performance by them. They lost the final by 0-1, but still have a chance of winning a major title.

The Global Ones have a clear chance to clinch the Saudi Pro League title by securing a win in their upcoming contest. Al Nassr are in the top spot on the league table at the moment. A win here will be enough for them to lift the trophy.

They cannot afford to lose here. A draw can also become a nightmare for them. Cristiano Ronaldo and company will be at home for their upcoming contest, making it the perfect opportunity to win the league.

The Knights of the South are coming in after securing a dominating 3-0 win against Al Fayha. It was a seamless effort by them from start to finish. Fábio Carille’s men can still get relegated if they lose their upcoming matchup and Al Riyadh win their next fixture.

Damac FC are placed 15th on the Saudi Pro League points table. They are going to be away from home for their next outing.

It is going to keep them under pressure from the start. Their recent results against the Global Ones have been poor, and beating them in the next one is a tough challenge for the visitors.

Players to Watch

Cristiano Ronaldo (Al Nassr)

Having scored 26 goals in 29 league games, Cristiano Ronaldo is the top goal scorer for Al Nassr in the Saudi top division. The Portuguese talisman might not be able to defend his Golden Boot here. Ivan Toney is leading the charts with 32 goals and has six more than Ronaldo.

Even though CR7 has failed to score a goal in the last two games for Al Nassr, he is going to be one of the main men in the final third for the hosts.

Valentin Vada (Damac)

Valentin Vada will be looking to step up his game so that he can help his side to avoid the demotion. Despite not scoring any goals in the previous matchup, he was very beneficial on the pitch for Damac Club. He bagged two assists.

The 30-year-old is going to play an important role for the visitors both in the midfield and on the attacking front. In 33 Saudi Pro League appearances, he has scored 11 goals and has six assists to his name.
