Damac vs Al Nassr prediction 21.01.2026 | Saudi Pro League

Damac's results steadily declined over the years, from 5th place a few years ago to a team barely escaping relegation last year. This season has been a disaster once again, as they have averaged almost 0.3 points per game fewer than last year. Luckily for them, the bottom three teams have been atrocious, and "the Knight of the South" is still holding itself above the relegation zone. 

After a 1:1 draw with Al Fayha, coach Armando Evangelista spoke to the media. He said it was a very balanced and competitive game and that a draw was a fair result. The coach also expressed confidence in his squad's future development, saying they need to keep improving and that fans should expect even better performances. 

When Cristiano Ronaldo arrived to Al Nassr, everyone expected a lot of success for the ten-time Saudi Arabian champs. However, that was not the case as they failed to win a single major trophy. This season, after 11 straight league wins, it seemed this could finally be their year. However, that great record was deceiving because they hadn't faced their best teams in the league. After those 11 wins, they won only one point in the following four league games and have dropped to 2nd place - seven points behind Al Hilal. Seven points in this league is often impossible to overcome, and football experts do not give them too much chance of winning the title. 

After a 3:2 win over Al Shabab, coach Jorge Jesus spoke to the media. He said it was an important victory to end a poor run. The coach emphasized that they need to improve their set pieces, particularly given that they have a top player like Cristiano Ronaldo.
