Al Raed vs Damak Prediction
Al Raed went into the Saudi Pro League winter break on the back of a slump in form with four defeats and one win in five matches in the league. They returned from the winter break by suffering a penalty shootout win against lower league Al Jabalain in the quarter-finals of the Saudi King Cup of Champions the other day. They now face a Damak side that went into the winter break with some solid form as a 2-2 draw with Al Fayha made it just one defeat in their last five matches. Given the form of the two sides, a surprise win in favour of the away team seems a good value bet for this one.
Al Raed vs Damak Tip: Double chance – Damak to win or draw
