We said: Damac 1-1 Al Riyadh
The visitors have made a number of signings over the break and got a hard-fought victory in their opening match, which would have done their confidence a world of good. The hosts were disappointing last week but will be expecting major improvement in their first home match of the campaign. We feel this one will end level at the full-time whistle.
