London, 6 February 2026 – Al Ettifaq host Damac FC today at the Prince Mohammed Bin Fahd Stadium in a Matchday 20 fixture of the Saudi Pro League. The hosts enter the contest in a period of resurgence, looking to capitalise on their home advantage against a Damac side that has struggled for consistency in recent weeks. With Al Ettifaq currently positioned 7th in the table and Damac languishing in 15th, the stakes are high for both clubs as they navigate the second half of the 2025/2026 season.
Match Background and Recent Form
Al Ettifaq come into this fixture following a disciplined 1-0 victory over Al-Taawoun. Their recent form has been encouraging, with the side securing five victories in their last eight outings. This “resurgence” has seen them climb the table, contrasting sharply with their opponents’ current plight. Damac FC, meanwhile, are winless in their last five league matches and recently played out a 0-0 draw. Their away record remains a concern, having secured only one victory on the road this season.
Head-to-Head Analysis

Tactical Outlook
Al Ettifaq have shown defensive solidity recently, but it is their discipline that has been noted by analysts; conversely, Damac have managed to keep their card count low, receiving fewer than 4.5 cards in seven of their last nine matches. The home side will likely rely on the creative spark of Mohau Nkota, who recently impressed with a two-assist performance, while Damac must find a way to improve their clinical edge in front of goal to move away from the relegation zone.
