Damak vs Al Ettifaq Prediction

The home team come into this one on the back of an impressive and comfortable 2-0 defeat of Al Raed at the King Abdullah Sport City Stadium at the weekend. Damak have now suffered just one defeat in their last six matches. Steven Gerrard’s Al Ettifaq equalised in the 94th minute against struggling Al Kholood at the weekend before then conceding a 100th minute winner as they continue to struggle in the bottom-half and the pressure grows on the former Aston Villa and Rangers boss. Given the form of the two sides as well as their home advantage, siding with Damak looks the way to go for this one.

Damak vs Al Ettifaq Tip: Double chance – Damak to win or draw
