Damac has shown resilience at home, often keeping matches tight and focusing on a solid defensive setup. Despite their recent struggles, they have managed to limit the goal-scoring opportunities of visiting teams. Meanwhile, Al-Ahli has been in excellent form, especially in their recent home games, but their away performances have been less convincing.
Considering the current form and playing styles of both teams, this match is likely to be closely contested. My prediction: Total under 2.5 goals
