Damak vs Al Ettifaq Prediction
Damak are winless across their last three league games, having won the preceding five on the bounce (which was part of an eight-game unbeaten streak). This current poor form has seen them fall off the pace in the race for the top three.
Al Ettifaq have been on an even poorer run of form although they were triumphant in their most recent away game a fortnight ago. Their games tend to be low-scoring affairs and this trend could be set to continue.
We are backing the home side to claim all three points with a narrow victory and clean sheet.
Prediction: Damak 1-0 Al Ettifaq
