Preview
Welcome to your essential Al-Ettifaq vs Damac prediction for the Saudi Pro League’s penultimate weekend, brought to you by NerdyTips. With just days left in the campaign, both teams find themselves separated by nine points and three places—Al-Ettifaq sitting 7th on 43 points, Damac in 10th with 34 after 31 matches. This late-season fixture at EGO Stadium on May 17th (16:55 GMT) promises more than just a routine run-out. The gap in the table hints at diverging ambitions, but as recent results show, nothing is ever straightforward in this league.
Let’s set the scene: Al-Ettifaq, with a squad valued at €42.120 million, are eyeing a strong finish to cement their top-half status. Damac, whose roster comes in at €27.15 million, are looking to end on a high and perhaps leapfrog a rival or two. Both sides are fresh from results that turn heads:
History is also on the hosts’ side: in their previous head to head on April 28, 2.123, Al-Ettifaq ran out 2:0 winners (odds then: 2.125 for Al-Ettifaq, 2.9 for Damac). Recent form and history both hint at a competitive affair.
Turning to the numbers, the current odds paint a clear—if cautious—picture:
These odds reflect Al-Ettifaq’s higher league position, greater squad value, and recent head to head success. Damac, though, are no pushovers, as that 1:0 win over Al-Qadisiyah showed. The bookies expect a tight contest, but give the edge to the hosts.
League-wide trends add more color to our Al-Ettifaq vs Damac prediction:
In short, home advantage matters, but surprises are never far away. The data suggests a moderate chance of both teams scoring, but high-scoring thrillers are the exception, not the rule.
So what can we expect in terms of style and numbers? Here’s how the match could unfold:
Al-Ettifaq are likely to control the ball and push the tempo, but Damac’s compact setup and recent defensive heroics suggest they’ll be tough to break down. Expect a tactical battle, with chances at a premium.
