DAMAK VS AL RIYADH PREDICTION
Damak come into this one on the back of a 3-1 defeat away to newly-promoted Al Qadsiah in their most recent outing last week. The home team have managed two victories, a draw and five defeats in their opening eight matches. They now face an Al Riyadh side that begin the weekend sitting tucked inside the top six and come into this one having won three of their last five matches. They did lose last weekend but it would remain a sensible and good value bet to side with the away team.
