Al-Ittihad FC vs Damac FC Prediction: Ittihad continues to struggle

In the upcoming 33rd match of the Saudi Pro League, Al-Ittihad have been inconsistent in their performances this season as they have lost three consecutive league games with a draw in their most recent league game. Damac FC on the other hand is also without a win in their last four league games and they might just pull off an upset in this game on Thursday as Ittihad is in bad shape. Our prediction is for both teams to score. Please see the carefully prepared tips for you below.

Al-Ittihad FC (5th)

Form: DLLLW

Ittihad have now lost three consecutive league games in a row with a draw in their most recent league game and it only gets worse for them as their hopes of qualifying to the AFC Cup have gone down the drain. The team is going through lots of issues and they can barely survive with two games left in the league. Star signing Karim Benzema is also rumored to leave Saudi as he isn’t all that pleased with his stay in Saudi Arabia. In their most recent league game against Al-Khaleej, Ittihad was held down to a 1-1 draw and they’ll be gunning for a positive outcome here on Thursday.  

Al-Ittihad is currently fifth-placed in the league. Al-Ittihad’s overall league record in the Saudi Pro League this season is 15 wins, seven draws, and 11 losses in 31 games. 

Damac FC (10th)

Form: DDLLW

Damac FC continues to grapple with challenges in the league, exhibiting an average performance thus far in the season. Over their last five league games, they have only won a single game with two draws and two losses. Their most recent league game against Al-Feiha ended in a 1-1 draw and they’ll most likely aim for a win against an out-of-form Ittihad side. 

Despite these challenges, Damac has managed to secure ten wins, along with ten draws and 12 losses, in the 32 games they have played so far.

Head-to-head Statistics

The last 9 games between the teams provided 3 wins for Ittihad, 3 wins for Damac FC, and draws in 3 games.

Al-Ittihad enters this encounter in really bad shape and they might end up with a draw on Thursday. It is pertinent to note that Damac FC defeated Al-Ittihad in the first leg encounter with a 3-1 defeat and with the look of things Damac might get another victory at the King Abdullah Sports City Stadium. However, our focus will be on the scoring potentials in this game and we will bank on goals from both teams at 1.64 odds. 

Ittihad might also get the victory as they are stronger in terms of team quality and experience but they are only going through a tough patch at the moment. We can go for a win or a draw and a total of over 1.5 goals for Ittihad here.
