Al-Fayha vs Damac prediction, H2H and probable lineups - May 2, 2025
Al-Fayha
Damac FC
One of the fixtures of Matchday 30 in the Saudi Pro League will unfold this Friday at the Buraydah Arena, where local side Al-Fayha will host Damac. I suggest betting on goals in this clash—there’s a solid chance for success.
Match preview
Al-Fayha still lacks a clear direction—the team is teetering on the edge of the relegation zone, sitting 14th with 30 points. It’s been a tense campaign: 6 wins, 12 draws, and 11 defeats, a record that reflects both attacking inefficiency and defensive disorganization.
Over their last five matches, the “Oranges” have picked up two victories, drawn twice, and lost just once—a recent 2-2 draw with Al-Orubah perfectly mirrored their season: unfinished business, lost control, and a relentless fight until the final whistle. At home, Al-Fayha rarely delights their fans: just three wins in 14 home games suggest the team is more often scrambling for points than dictating the tempo.
Damac hasn’t found consistency either—11th place with 31 points from 8 wins, 7 draws, and 14 defeats shows the club is still searching for the right balance. In the last five rounds, Damac have played five hard-fought matches, with two wins and two losses. Their most recent defeat, a 2-3 setback against Al-Nassr, once again exposed their fragile defense.
During this stretch, Damac have scored 9 goals but conceded 12—too steep a price for adventurous attacking football. Away games are especially tough: only three wins and eight losses on the road. Unless Damac can shore up their defense, even their bold attacking philosophy won’t be enough to keep them out of danger.
Probable lineups
- Al-Fayha: Mosquera - Al-Bokawi, Smalling, Saleh, Abdi - Cimirot, Al-Harthi - Al-Habi, Shukurov, Al-Kaabi – Patron
- Damac: Nitza, Al Anazi, Al-Obaid, Chafai, Bedran, Solan, Al-Subiani, Abdullah, Stanciu, N'Koudou, Al Nemer
