Al-Ettifaq Dammam

- Al-Ettifaq Dammam have been a model of consistency in the middle of the Profesional League 2025/2026 standings this season and Saad Al-Shehri’s men should have no trouble overcoming an out-of-shape Al Najma (SAUD) on Monday.
- Ettifaq have had a mixed run of results lately with two wins and three defeats from their last five league matches.
- Ettifaq have a superior home record this season, with seven wins, five draws and only three defeats from 15 league matches, so odds of 1.59 offer little value in the match result market.
Al Najma (SAUD)

- Felippe Cardoso has scored two of their last six league goals and is a spark of energy in attack.
