Al-Khaleej vs. Damac: Match Prediction
Al-Khaleej has been solid at home, relying on a strong defensive strategy to secure points. Their ability to limit opponents' scoring chances has been key to their recent success. Meanwhile, Damac has struggled on the road, and their inconsistency away from home could be a significant factor in this matchup.
Considering all factors, this match is expected to be closely contested with limited scoring opportunities. My prediction: Total under 2.5 goals
