Damac FC
One of the matches in the eighth round of the Saudi Pro League will take place on Friday in Al Khubar, where local club Al Qadisiya will host Al Ahli at the Prince Saud bin Jalawi Stadium. Here’s a match preview and prediction from the Dailysports expert team.
Al Qadisiya
The club from Al Khubar showcased impressive performances in the previous season of the First Division, securing first place and earning promotion to the elite. At the start of the new season in the Saudi Pro League, Al Qadisiya has also made a decent impression. In their first five matches, they achieved three victories—against Al Fateh (3:0), Al Raed (1:0), and Al Ahli (1:0).
However, the subsequent two games brought the team back to reality. First, Al Qadisiya lost away to Al Riyadh, 1:2. After the international break, they visited Al Ittihad and suffered a 1:3 defeat. As a result, after seven rounds, Al Qadisiya occupies eighth place in the standings, with 10 points.
Damak
Under the guidance of Cosmin Contra, Damak finished the last season in a comfortable 10th position, avoiding a relegation battle. However, their start in the new Premier League season has been disappointing. In their first five matches, Damak suffered four defeats and managed to secure only one win, against Al Ahdud (3:1).
Nevertheless, the last two games provide hope that the team is on the mend. First, Damak managed a narrow home victory over Al Shabab (1:0). Then, following the international break, they drew 2:2 at home with Al Taawoun, allowing their opponent to equalize in the 85th minute. Currently, Damak sits in 12th place, with 7 points.
