Gather ’round, folks, because the Prince Sultan bin Abdul Aziz Stadium in Saudi Arabia is about to become the stage for the Saudi Pro League's dazzling showdown set for Friday, 26 Sep '25—not to mention it begins at the excuse-to-leave-work-early time of local hours. Now, what do you get when you put Damac FC and Al-Ettifaq on the same pitch? A theatrical rivalry filled with more plot twists than a soap opera marathon!

Our stat detectives have unearthed Damac FC's struggle to snag a win in their last three adventures against Al-Ettifaq. The latter has strutted away victorious twice, leaving Damac with only fond memories of a single draw, last experienced on a pleasant Saturday, 17 May '25, which coincidentally saw both teams engaging in a gentlemanly, non-victorious tango. Damac FC, in their recent escapade, found themselves facing the despair of a 1-2 defeat against Al-Kholood, while Al-Ettifaq underwent a slightly more existential kind of loss—a thrilling 2-2 tie with Al-Batin. As it stands, Damac FC holds the 15th domestic league position with about the same confidence as a toddler on stilts, whereas Al-Ettifaq comfortably lounges in the 9th spot.

Now for the players: hold the applause! Under the spotlight, we have Damac’s star performer, V. Vada, twinkling with a praiseworthy goal, while the chaos creator K. Al-Ghannam of Al-Ettifaq stands acknowledged for his delightful assist. But wait, there’s more! Hear the roll call of top player ratings!

Meanwhile, in Al-Ettifaq's ranks, the "Khalid Al-Ghannam Orchestra" harmonizes at 7.3, with Madallah Al-Olayan providing sweet accompaniment at 7, and Mohau Nkota playing a respectable 6.97 note.

Just when you thought possession stats couldn’t be any juicier, Damac delivers an adventurous 51.333333333333% ball-hogging, keeping Al-Ettifaq on their toes at 49.67%. Both teams intercept approximately 4.33 corners per match, offering an exciting spectacle akin to a synchronized dance of tactical befuddlement. In the realm of card stats and discipline, Damac FC seems content with their six yellow cards, balanced by a clean slate of red cards and a penalty goal conceded. Al-Ettifaq waves around 11 yellow cards, similarly devoid of any red card drama, yet accommodates a penalty goal embarrassment as well. Dark-horse insights reveal that one should always look at form and lucky streaks when predicting outcomes.

While it's no fairy tale, the grand stats narrative suggests that Al-Ettifaq, blessed with more wins and a loftier league position, might just tip the scales in their favor and sashay with a victory dance this time around. Tune in for the magic moment! 🎉
