Damac vs Al-Shabab Prediction and Betting Tips | February 16th 2024

Damac will host Al-Shabab at the Prince Sultan bin Abdul Aziz Stadium on Friday in another round of the 2023-24 Saudi Professional League campaign.

The home side have enjoyed a largely solid league campaign and are now pushing for the continental spots in the league table. They were beaten 1-0 by Al Riyadh in their last competitive outing and could have no real complaints about the result after managing just one shot on target throughout the match.

Damac sit sixth in the league table with 30 points from 19 games and will be hopeful of adding to that tally on Friday.

Al-Shabab, meanwhile, have had mixed results in the Saudi Arabian top-flight this season, prompting the dismissal of head coach Igor Biscan. They beat Al-Wehda 1-0 last time out in the competition, with Abdullah Radif coming off the bench to score the game-winner five minutes from normal time.

The visitors sit 11th in the table with 21 points picked up so far. They are just four points above Al Tai in the first relegation spot and will be looking to widen that gap here.

Al-Shabab on the other hand saw their latest result end a seven-game winless run and they will be looking to kick on from that on Friday. They have, however, struggled for results on the road this season and could lose this one.
