Al Riyadh vs Damak Prediction

Al Riyadh come into this one on the back of a 2-1 defeat to league leaders Al Ittihad in their most recent outing a few weeks ago before the March international break. The home team have now managed just one of their last seven matches in the Saudi Pro League. They now face a Damak side that ended their four-match losing streak and seven-match winless run of form by defeating high-flying Al Qadsiah by a goal to nil a few weeks ago. These are two out of form sides that are generally low-scoring and evenly matched so a low-scoring affair is to be expected for this one.

Al Riyadh vs Damak Tip: Under 2.5 goals
