Damac will host Al-Hilal at the Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz Sports City on Sunday in another round of the 2025-26 Saudi Pro League campaign. The home side have had a difficult season and look set to fight for survival again, sitting 14th in the table with nine points.
After failing to win any of their first 10 league matches of the campaign, Damac faced Al-Okhdood in their final match of 2025 and eventually came away victorious with a 1-0 victory. Argentine midfielder Valentín Vada scored a brilliant long-range goal five minutes later to secure the points for Faris Al-Janub, although the players will need to improve their overall performances if they are to truly progress.
Thanks for the submission!
After surviving a late scare in their 3-2 win over Al-Khaleej on Boxing Day, Al-Hilal looked for a better performance in their next match against Al-Kholood and delivered, winning 3-1. With the score tied 1-1 at halftime, former AC Milan player Theo Hernandez stole the show in the second half with a brace, allowing the Blue Waves to end the year on a high note.
The visitors, who remain second in the table, have now reduced the gap at the top to two points and will be eager to pick up where they left off in their first match of the year.

Damac vs Al-Hilal Prediction
Faris Al-Janub’s latest result ended a poor 14-game winless streak dating back to May, and they will be hoping to build on it this weekend. However, they are one of three teams in the division who are yet to win at home and will have everything they can to achieve a positive result.
Al-Hilal, meanwhile, are comfortable favorites heading into Sunday’s match, having won their last 16 matches in a row, and should claim an easy victory.
