Prediction Damac FC vs Al Ettifaq 2025/2026 – Betting Tips for the Pro League on 26/09/2025

Match context and recent form

The Dhamak Club Stadium will host a clash that carries more than just three points for Damac FC and Al Ettifaq. Damac return to home soil desperate to arrest a worrying slide: three league games played and just one point have left them slumped 15th in the table. Their recent sequence reads like a cautionary tale — a string of defeats punctuated only by a draw and an isolated win in ten outings — and their defensive numbers underline the issue, conceding five times in three league matches. Even at Dhamak, Damac have shipped three goals and managed only two in attack, so there are clear questions about balance and cutting edge.

Al Ettifaq arrive with steadier momentum. Sitting ninth with four points from three matches, they have shown resilience across competitions. Their cup exit on penalties to Al Batin masked a performance that took the match to the wire, and in the league their results have been mixed but more productive than their hosts. The away side’s form over the last ten includes multiple wins and draws, reflecting a side that can grind results and strike when needed. Al Ettifaq’s away numbers show a team capable of creating chances, but they have conceded more on the road than at home — a vulnerability Damac will hope to exploit.

Tactical picture and head-to-head note

Historically, the most recent meeting in May ended goalless, a blank scoreline that suggests a competitive edge when the two meet. But current indicators point to a different story this time around. Damac’s high average of overall and dangerous attacks suggests they try to push forward, yet their finishing and defensive frailties have undermined that approach. Al Ettifaq, while not immaculate defensively on the road, have shown an ability to get results and pick moments to hurt opponents. The odds on offer mirror the tightness: the bookmakers give Al Ettifaq a slight edge, with the away price edging home’s but both outcomes well within reach.

Prediction and betting insight

Given the form lines, recent match reports and the market positioning, the sensible lean is toward the away side. Al Ettifaq’s recent run across competitions and superior points haul in the early league phase suggest they have the composure to exploit Damac’s instability. The market has reacted accordingly, offering value on the visitors without hugely long odds.

Betting suggestion: Al Ettifaq to win (1X2) at 2.50 — back the away victory as the primary play based on Al Ettifaq’s superior recent form and Damac’s defensive struggles.
