UNAVAILABLE: Maher (Injured)

DAMAK VS AL SHABAB PREDICTION

Damak begin this weekend’s round of fixtures sitting firmly in the bottom three and the relegation places after just one win with four defeats in their opening five matches. The home team do look a team destined to remain in the relegation battle. They face an Al Shabab side that underperformed last year but after losing on the opening day this time around, have now won four on the bounce with the visitors firm favourites to make it five in a row here.
