Al Taawon vs Damak Prediction
The other day, Al Taawon shared a goalless draw with Iranian side Tractor Sazi in the first-leg of their AFC Cup quarter-final in midweek. The hosts have now suffered just one defeat in their last seven matches across all competitions but they have been generally inconsistent throughout the campaign. They face a Damak side that have endured a difficult run of form of late with a 2-0 loss to Al Shabab last time out making it three defeats on the trot for the visitors and just one win in their last nine games in the Pro League. Given that, Al Taawon should avoid defeat once again here, especially with their home advantage.
