Damac – Al Riyadh preview: Team news, recent form, and potential lineups
Find out all the latest information on both teams right here, including our predicted Damac vs Al Riyadh lineups:
Damac
After the eighth place in Saudi Pro League last season, Damac entered the new season with hopes of getting into the top half of the standings come the end of it. However, their result in the first round wasn't great since the team lost to Al Taee, although in a very close game. Damac will now have a chance to improve on that first impression in the second round in front of their fans.
Damac predicted lineup:
Abdalbaset – Al Hawsawi, Chafai, Bedrane, Al-Ammar – Munshi, Sharara, Al-Bishi, Antolic, Makin – Al-Johani
Al Riyadh
As a newly-promoted team, Al Riyadh only has one goal in mind and that's survival. To their credit, the team started the new season well, with a win at home over Al Wehda. So, we should expect to see the same eleven start the next match or at least not see many changes. When it comes to team news, Oscar Duarte remains out with a shoulder injury.
Al Riyadh predicted lineup:
Campana – Asiri, Arslanagic, Tosca – Al-Nowaiqi, Ndong, Toure, Al Khaibari – Al-Zaqaan, Al Abbas, Musona

Player to Watch: Knowledge Musona
While we can see this being a close game, we lean towards the guests winning and for them to do so, they will need help from Knowledge Musona, our player to watch in this duel.
The experienced winger signed for the team this summer after scoring eight goals for Al Taee last season and he already made his mark by scoring the winning goal against Al Wehda in the opening game of the new season.
