Comments and predictions for Damac vs Al Fateh: Balance until the last minute

Latest information on Damac vs Al Fateh forces

Right-back Alhwsawi Sanousi Mohammed was forced off injured against Al Ettifaq and is likely to join Adam Maher and Hassan Abu Shrarh on the injury list.

Although Georges-Kevin N'Koudou didn't score in the previous game, the winger still has 13 goals this season – including five match-winners, only six players in the Pro League have more. Nine of his strikes have come from home, underlining his particular influence at Khamis Mushait.

As for Al Fateh, except for Suhayb Al Zaid – who suffered a knee injury and will be out until 2026 – coach Gomes has no further concerns about his personnel after the match against Al Hilal.

Midfielder Sofiane Bendebka – who scored 2 goals and assisted 1 in round 32 – is still the visitors’ biggest hope in attack, having scored 12 goals this season and is ready to continue to shoulder the task of scoring in the relegation battle.

Latest football commentary on Damac vs Al Fateh

When Damac began to be dragged into the relegation race in the final weeks of the season, coach Khaled Al-Atwi and his team promptly won 4 points in the last 2 rounds, thereby rising to 12th place on the rankings.

Although still uncertain of relegation, the Khamis Mushait-based side are in a much more positive position after a 1-0 win over Al Raed on May 11.

They then went on to pick up a point in a goalless draw with Al Ettifaq, and are now looking to keep three consecutive clean sheets – something they haven’t done since October-December 2022, when they beat Al Adalah 2-0 and drew goalless with Al Ettifaq and Al Wahda.

Just one more point would take Jabal Damac closer to safety, although there is still a chance they could be caught by Al Orubah if they lose both remaining games, in which case they would be relegated due to a head-to-head deficit.

However, Damac entered the final home match in a more positive mood than their opponents Al Fateh – a team that is going through a series of 2 consecutive losses and is starting to have to be wary of the group behind.

Although currently 5 points ahead of second-to-last team Al Okhdood, Al Fateh is only 3 points ahead of Al Orubah and 1 point behind Al Wahda – the team ranked 15th – making the relegation battle still very tense.

The two teams have won 1-0 in their previous two matches so they are now level on points and head-to-head record. Al Fateh have a slight advantage on total goal difference so they would benefit if they were level on points with Al Orubah after the season.

However, coach Jose Gomes will certainly want to avoid a third consecutive defeat in the Pro League and return to the form that helped the team escape the bottom group when winning 14 points in the previous 6 rounds.

Al Fateh lost eight of their first nine away games of the season, but have lost just two of their last seven. Fans will be hoping to avoid an 11th away defeat and continue their relegation battle.
