Al Fateh vs Damak Prediction

Al Fateh come into this one on the back of losing 9-0 away to league leaders Al Hilal the other day. The home team sit firmly in the bottom three and the relegation places with just one victory in 15 matches and sitting rock-bottom in the Saudi Pro League. They now face a Damak side that have been inconsistent throughout the campaign, as shown by a 3-0 loss at home to Al Ettifaq the other day. However, even after that loss, they are expected to win this one against a very poor side.
