Al-Ettifaq vs Damac Predictions and Free Tips from our expert tipsters when the teams go head-to-head in the Saudi Pro League on Saturday, 2 September 2023.
Al-Ettifaq had an impressive start to this season but failed to maintain the same further. They won their opening two matches in a row, but drew and lost their next two fixtures.
The team will face an unimpressive Damac side as their visiting rivals on Saturday. Damac are yet to seal a win this season. They are on a four-match winless run at the moment.
Damac was having a four-match unbeaten streak before losing top Al-Ettifaq in their latest meeting. It is worth noting that Al-Ettifaq remained unbeaten in both their clashes against Damac last season.

Al-Ettifaq started off this season at home with a 2-1 win over Al Nassr being underdogs. The team maintained an unbeaten display by recording a 1-1 draw in their second match against Al Khaleej.
Meanwhile, Damac lost their opening away match this season against Al Taee. The team maintained a winless display by recording a 1-1 draw against Al Shabab in the second.
Since Al-Ettifaq follows a strong form against Damac at this stadium of late, we have enough of reasons to expect a win for them on Saturday.
Their head to head tradition have often seen the recording of over 2.5 goals ft. On top of that Al-Ettifaq’s attacking side looks good this season too. In that case, expect an over 2.5 goals ft here.
Al-Ettifaq allowed goals in both their home matches this season. On the other side, Damac have managed to score in most of their recent away matches irrespective of their results. Thus, we expect this match to have goals from both ends.
Al-Ettifaq had an unbeaten start to this season at home. On the other side, Damac follows a winless form on the road. Since Al-Ettifaq have an upper hand in the recent tradition, we expect a win for them on Saturday.
