Al Nassr vs Damak Prediction

Al Nassr managed to defeat Al Gharafa in the AFC Champions League group stages in midweek thanks to a brace from Cristiano Ronaldo and one from Angelo Gabriel. They did, though, suffer a surprise 2-1 loss to Al Qadsiah at Al Awwal Park last weekend. They now face a Damak side that have lifted themselves away from the bottom three and the relegation places with back-to-back topsy turvy victories against Al Wehda and Al Kholood. Despite the recent results of the two sides, Al Nassr should still come out on top, especially with their home advantage.
