Al Hilal’s upcoming match against Damac Club on April 28, 2026, at the Kingdom Arena is crucial. They aim to close the gap on league leaders Al Nassr while facing a team at risk of demotion.

Al Hilal currently sits second in the Saudi Pro League, eight points behind Al Nassr. They have won two of their last five games, which puts pressure on them to secure a victory against Damac. Conversely, Damac Club has secured three wins in their last five matches.

The Blue Waves are unbeaten in their last nine fixtures against Damac Club. This history could work in their favor as they prepare for this critical encounter.

Karim Benzema has been a standout player for Al Hilal this season. He has scored 16 goals and provided two assists in 20 league games. On the other hand, Valentin Vada leads Damac with 11 goals and four assists this season.

Al Hilal’s management remains optimistic about their title chances. “Al Hilal still have a chance at the league title, but they must not drop points moving forward,” said one source close to the team. The players are motivated to capitalize on their home advantage.

The team’s recent performance and historical success against Damac suggest they may have an edge. “Prediction: Al Hilal 3-1 Damac,” stated an analyst familiar with both teams.

Meanwhile, Al Hilal’s King’s Cup final against Al Kholood has been postponed, allowing them to focus entirely on the league.
