Should we expect an unexpected result? The answer is in our forecast for this match.

Command Analysis

Damac FC

Current form
Damak is considered a solid mid-table Premier League team. The team finished last season in tenth place, avoiding the fight for survival. The current championship draw has been less successful for the hosts - the club is only in 13th place in the table and is only one point ahead of its opponents in the danger zone. In eight matches, the team managed to win only two victories - both at home, over Al-Ahdud (3:1) and Al-Shabab (1:0). After the second victory, they managed to get another point in a home match with Al-Taawun (2:2), but in the last round the team lost to the ambitious newcomer, Al-Qadisiya (1:2).
Disqualifications and injuries
The hosts have no problems with their squad ahead of the upcoming match.
Interesting trends for betting
- The club has won only one of its last six matches.
- At home, the team suffered only one defeat in five matches
Probable lineup : Nita - Solan, Shafai, Bedran, Al-Anazi - Abdullah, Stanciu - Kamano, Fattala, Nkoudou - Diallo

Al Riyadh

Current form
Al-Riyadh is only in its second season in the Premier League and is trying to improve every year. The team spent the last championship among the outsiders and barely avoided relegation, taking 14th place in the standings. At the beginning of the current season, the team has been much more successful and is in sixth place, with 13 points. In the last rounds, they managed to play successfully with Al-Qadisiyah (2:1) and Al-Ahdud (1:0), but then the club predictably lost to one of the league leaders, Al-Ittihad (0:1). Also, the guests will no longer compete for the King Cup - in the 1/8 finals, Riyadh was defeated by Al-Shabab with a score of 0:2.
Disqualifications and injuries
In the last round, Ziyad Al-Sahafi received a red card.
Interesting trends for betting
- The visitors have lost their last two matches.
- None of the team last nine matches have ended in a draw.
Estimated lineup : Borjan - Al-Khaybari, Barbe, Asiri, Al-Tambakti, Al-Nuweki - Bayesh, Lucas Kal, Selemani - Al-Akel, Konate

1.67Tip and bets
The hosts have had a rather weak start to the season, so they need to win, otherwise there is a risk of ending up in the relegation zone soon. Damak is not doing so badly at home, so there is every chance of beating Al-Riyadh, who are in their second season in the elite. We believe that this opponent is quite within Damak capabilities, so we suggest betting on a victory for the home team.
Our prediction is Damac victory at 1.77
Bet on total
Both teams are quite active in attack, while the defensive game of both is far from ideal. The clubs need a win in the upcoming match, so we will probably see attacking football with a lot of scoring chances. A bet on the total over looks like a pretty promising option.
Our prediction is total over 2.5 goals with odds of 1.82
Bet on corners
If Damak plays like they did in their recent match against Al-Shabab, they will win in many areas, including the number of corner kicks.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-1.5) on Damak for corners with odds of 1.90
