A huge game in the battle for Saudi Pro League survival takes place on Thursday evening as Damac play host to Al Fateh.
Damac are five points clear of the bottom three, while the visitors are only three points away from the red zone.
The hosts avoided defeat in each of their last two matches whilst keeping a clean sheet in both. A draw will be enough to secure their place in this division next season, but head coach Khaled Al Atawi will be concerned by the fact that they lost the reverse fixture 2:1.
Meanwhile, Al Fateh suffered a huge setback in their fight for survival against Al Hilal last week. After going into the half-time break with a two-goal advantage, the Role Model ended up losing 4:3, with Mitrović and co. scoring the winner in stoppage time. José Gomes’s team have now lost each of their last three games and are without a clean sheet in 10 of the last 11.
Damac FC vs Al Fateh FC Betting Tips: Over 2.5 goals
There is always entertainment when Damac and Al Fateh go head to head. There was at least one goal from both sides in each of the last five meetings and five of the last seven ended with three or more goals.
Al Fateh’s major weakness this season has been their defence and they conceded eight goals in their last four games alone. Three of those games ended with over 2.5 goals and I expect Thursday’s game to end similarly.
- Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals
- Damac FC vs Al Fateh FC prediction: 2-2

Al Fateh FC team news
Al Fateh didn’t suffer any injuries in the late defeat to Al Hilal last time out, meaning head coach José Gomes will use the same side that scored three goals against Al-Za'eem.
With his brace last time out, Sofiane Bendebka has now found the back of the net 12 times this season and the Algerian is expected to keep his place in the engine room.
