Al-Riyadh vs Damac Prediction and Betting Tips | 28th December 2023
High-flying Damac visit the Prince Faisal bin Fahd Stadium on Thursday to face the struggling Al-Riyadh in the Saudi Pro League.
With five league wins in a row, Damac are currently on a roll. The Knights of the South have turned their fortunes around lately after having won just thrice from their opening 11 games.
After their current spell, though, Cosmin Contra's side have climbed up to fifth position in the top-flight table with 30 points from 18 games and will be eager to pick up their sixth consecutive win.
Al-Riyadh are languishing down in 16th position with just four wins and 16 points from 18 games. Their fourth and last win came away to Al-Taawoun on 24 November, but they have since drawn once and lost thrice, all coming in succession.
Having only gained promotion from the second division this summer, the capital side run the risk of going straight back down, given the way things are going right now.
