Damak vs Al Hilal Prediction
Last weekend, Damak shared a 1-1 draw with Al Khaleej at the Prince Mohamed bin Fahd Stadium lasty weekend with Georges-Kevin Nkoudou’s opening strike in the 25th minute being cancelled out by Thomas Murg about 20 minutes later. They have been steady throughout the campaign as they sit in mid-table. They now take on an Al Hilal side that haven’t been as dominant and ruthless this season as they were last year but they are beginning this weekend’s round of fixtures sitting at the top-of-the-table on goal difference with five victories in their last six matches across all competitions ahead of this one, scoring 26 goals in those five wins. Al Hilal are the firm favourites for this one.
