Al Hilal vs Damac prediction 28.04.2026 | Saudi Professional League

Although entering the 2025/26 season with the highest ambitions in all competitions, it could easily happen for Al Hilal to stay without trophies. In the most important domestic competition, Simone Inzaghi's team is eight points behind the league leader, Al Nassr. Al Hilal have one game fewer played than their rival, but still sounds unrealistic for Inzaghi's team to save the season in the final six matches. Another disappointment for Al Hilal came in the most recent outing, when they lost after penalties in the AFC Champions League against Al Sadd. 

Al Hilal could go trophyless this season, but the head coach, Simone Inzaghi, should, according to reports, continue his job at the Kingdom Arena. Al Hilal management trusts the project led by the Italian. They believe that Inzaghi's continued presence provides the players with greater clarity on roles and plans, which should lead to improved performance. 

Although Al Hilal didn't meet expectations, their offense remains world-class. They scored 11 goals in their last three matches, and it is hard to imagine Damac slowing them down. 

Damac are in a tough position. With five rounds left, Fabio Carille's team is three points ahead of the relegation zone and needs a few more good results to secure another year in the top flight. Damac's form lately has been impressive, with only one defeat in the last six matches. In the previous game, they won 2-0 at home against Al Okhood. Damac capitalized on significantly better goal-scoring opportunities and secured all three points.

Damac's head coach, Fabio Carille, was very satisfied after a victory against Al Okhood. He said, "This is an important win for several reasons, the first being that it was against a direct competitor whose situation has become complicated to stay in the league, especially after our victory over. We must admit that we worked on some minor mistakes, but Al-Akhdoud needed the victory and had nothing to regret. They attacked with all their might, but we managed to keep a clean sheet, and I repeat that it was a very important victory."
