Damac vs Al Fayha Prediction, lineups, betting odds & tips

The away side are in the relegation zone

Matchday 13 of the Saudi Pro League will take us to Dhamak Club Stadium, where Damac will host Al Fayha. The home side are sitting in the 11th spot in the points table. With four wins, two draws, and six losses, the Knights of the South have accumulated 14 points so far. Damac have had major defensive struggles this season. They have conceded more goals than they have scored, which is alarming for the manager, Cosmin Contra.

Al Fayha on the other hand have struggled both offensively and defensively so far this season. With just 7 goals scored and 21 conceded, they are one of the worst-performing teams in both metrics in the Saudi Pro League. The Orange finds themselves in the 17th position in the league table with just seven points. They have only one win in the ongoing league campaign and are fighting relegation.

Al Fayha needs to rack up some wins as soon as possible to build momentum. However, Damac have shown that they are far superior to them in almost every department.

Players to watch

Georges-Kévin N’Koudou (Damac)

The left Winger is one of the biggest attacking threats possessed by Damac. He is the top goalscorer for his club in the 2024/25 Saudi Pro League season. However, his most impressive quality is his dribbling. He is a master in beating his marker. He is averaging more than three successful dribbles per game. His other notable strengths are his ball-striking and playmaking.l

Fashion Sakala (Al Fayha)

The Zambian has been one of the few positives for the away side this season. He has scored three goals for his club and is currently their top goalscorer. The 27-year-old striker is a lethal finisher and can be very threatening in and around the box. Al Fayha are not expected to get many chances during their clash against Damac and need to be clinical. Fashion Sakala brings exactly that to the table.
