Damac vs Al-Ittihad prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups – January 27, 2025
Damac FC
The 17th round match of the Saudi Pro League between Damac and Al-Ittihad will take place on Monday at the "Damac Club Stadium" in Khamis Mushayt. I suggest a bet on the outcome of this match with excellent odds.
Match preview
Damac continues to hover in the middle of the league table. In 16 matches, the team has secured five wins, three draws, and suffered eight losses. Despite their current position, the club understands that there is no room for complacency, as they are only four points clear of the relegation zone.
In recent rounds, Damac's performances have been underwhelming, managing only one win while suffering three defeats. In their last match, they lost 1-2 away to Al-Fateh. At home, Damac has claimed three victories in eight matches, with two defeats.
For Al-Ittihad, the beginning of 2025 has seen minor challenges, though their overall results remain strong. A 1-1 draw with Al-Fayha dropped them from first place, and Laurent Blanc's side now occupies second, trailing Al-Hilal on goal difference.
To reclaim the top spot, Al-Ittihad needs to hope for a slip-up from the reigning champions while striving for bigger-margin victories. The team has scored 11 fewer goals than the league leader. In their last league game, Al-Ittihad secured a 2-1 home win over Al-Shabab.
Probable lineups
- Damac: Nitz - Al-Anazi, Bedran, Shafai, Solan - Al-Subiani - Nkoudou, Fallata, Stanciu, Kamano - Diallo.
