Dhamk form and stats
5 victories, 5 draws and 4 defeats. That’s what Dhamk have to build on here at Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz Sports City Stadium in the Pro League.
The home team returns to Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz Sports City Stadium after drawing with Al Fateh (placed 6th) on their last time out; the game ended 1-1. A painful moment in the game against Al Fateh was the missed penalty kick from Antolić in the 50th minute. A goal there would obviously have changed the match and probably the outcome.
Ahead of that match, Dhamk won a home game hosting Abha (1-0).Dhamk are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 15 goals in 14 games.
