Damac vs Al Nassr prediction 22.04.2025 | Saudi Professional League

• Competition: Saudi Professional League
• Date: Tuesday, 22nd April, 2025
• Kickoff: 17:05 UK / 18:05 CEST
• Venue: Prince Sultan bin Abdul Aziz Stadium (Abha)

Last year, Damac finished 10th and are on a pace for a similar finish this year. The team from Khamis Mushait were more or less constantly in the middle of the league's table, but they are not "out of the woods yet". They are in 11th place but only five points away from dropping to the relegation zone. So, in the remaining six games, they have to collect some points in order to secure survival.

Al Nassr's era with Cristiano Ronaldo was highly unsuccessful compared to the expectations. The popular Knight of Najd won only the Arab Club Champions Cup, which is not considered a major trophy. This season, they were already eliminated from the Cup and have no chance of securing the title in the domestic league as they are in third place with an eight-point deficit to the first-placed Al Ittihad. That will be almost impossible to catch in this league. But they have to keep winning points in the league because they could fall up to fifth place and miss the AFC Champions League next season. Their only way to save the season is to secure a top-three finish in the league and win the AFC Champions League, where they reached the Quarter Finals and will face off against Yokohama F. Marinos after the Damac game.

Damac vs Al Nassr pick: Al Nassr to win

Damac has had some solid wins lately, like the ones against Al Qadisiya and Al Kholood. However, they were super lucky in those games because three of the four goals they scored were from the penalty spots. In fact, they were pretty outplayed in those matches. Also, for some reason, they really struggle at home, losing three of the last four games, and haven't had a very challenging schedule.

Meanwhile, Al Nassr were on a four-game winning streak before losing the last match against Al Qadisiya. But they played a solid game against a good team and deserved at least a draw. So, we can give them a pass on that one.

In the first h2h game, Al Nassr won 2:0 while completely dominating the game. They had 61% ball possession, 2.89 xG compared to Damac's only 0.35! Considering the previous h2h game and the difference in form, along with all the above, we believe that Al Nassr should secure a comfortable win on the road.
