The facts show that Al-Shabab have seen their defence breached in 6 of their previous 6 matches, shipping 11 goals in the process. Regardless, we will just have to wait and see whether that pattern might continue on in this next match.

Prediction
In our opinion, Al-Shabab have it within them to have the majority of the possession and should be able to turn a few of their chances into goals.
Conversely, Damac will not find it easy to get shooting opportunities but we can see them converting at least once as well.
We’re predicting a comfortable 3-1 win for Al-Shabab at the conclusion of the game.
