This result marked their third consecutive loss in the league, leaving them in the lower half of the standings.

Damac vs. Al-Ittihad: Match Prediction
Damac's recent form has been concerning, especially in defense, which could be exploited by the in-form Al-Ittihad side. Al-Ittihad's attacking prowess and solid defense make them favorites in this encounter. While Damac may find the net at home, Al-Ittihad's overall strength is likely to secure them a victory.
Considering all factors, my prediction: Al-Ittihad to win
