Al-Qadsiah vs Damac prediction, H2H and probable lineups - December 27, 2025
Damac FC
One of the matches of the 11th round of the Saudi Pro League will take place on Saturday at Prince Saud bin Jalawi Stadium in Al Khobar, where the local side Al-Qadsiah will face off against Damac. I suggest a bet on goals in this clash, as there’s a solid chance for a winning outcome.
Match preview
Al-Qadsiah are enjoying a confident season so far and currently sit among the top five teams in the league, having collected 17 points from 9 matches. The team has registered 5 wins, 2 draws, and only 2 losses, displaying balanced football both in attack and defense. Their home form is particularly impressive: 3 wins and 1 draw in 4 matches speak for themselves.
Under the guidance of Jose Miguel Gonzalez, Al-Qadsiah look organized and assured, even despite their recent cup setback against Al-Ahli. On that occasion, they exited only after a dramatic 3-3 draw and a penalty shootout. However, that defeat is unlikely to knock them off course – with a weaker opponent and the support of their home crowd, the hosts are well positioned to claim all three points.
Damac, on the other hand, are in deep crisis and languish at the bottom of the table, with just 5 points from 9 rounds. The team is yet to taste victory, having drawn 5 times and lost 4 matches. Their defensive line is shaky, while the attack is clearly underperforming – only 8 goals scored all season.
Under Armando Evangelista, Damac try to focus on defense, but rarely create any danger up front. Their last five games have yielded four draws and a defeat, underlining their inability to close out matches. The "Knights" look especially poor away from home, where they have not won a single match.
Probable lineups
- Al-Qadsiah: Casteels, Nacho, Alvarez, Tahri, Al-Shahrani, Nandez, Al-Juwair, Weigl, Otavio, Hazazi, Retegui
- Damac: Kevin, Harkess, Medina, Al-Qahtani, Meite, Rabia, Wada, Silla, Al-Haibari, Al-Anzi, David K.
Match facts and head-to-head
- Al-Qadsiah have won 2 of the last 4 meetings with Damac.
- Damac are winless in 9 consecutive league matches.
- In 4 of Damac’s last 5 matches, no more than 2 goals were scored.
Prediction
Al-Qadsiah are clear favorites for this encounter – they’re strong at home and have shown impressive consistency. Damac, by contrast, are in a prolonged slump and still searching for that elusive first win of the season. We expect Al-Qadsiah to secure victory, but don’t see more than three goals being scored in this match.
