Conventional wisdom says that when these sides meet they are bound to produce some goals.

Al Ittihad are favourites in the betting but they could be looking at an upset here.

The hosts start the match having established 4 home wins from their last 5. While most previews say that Al Ittihad will win the contest on their own terms, it won't be as simple as that.

Damac need to focus on the task at hand if they are to continue causing problems. Does the home side look confident on their own turf? They scored two or more goals in 7 of their recent 8 home matches and their defensive line also deserves credit. They have only conceded an average of 1.1 goals in their last 11 games.

Al Ittihad can be punished when they lose their shape. They've conceded at least once in all of their last 7 matches. Further, there could be signs that their ability to find the net has taken a dip.



译文(自动翻译仅供参考):

传统观点认为，当双方会面时，他们必然会产生一些目标。

阿尔蒂哈德在投注中是最受欢迎的，但他们可能会在这里看到一场意外。

东道主在比赛开始前已经在主场取得了过去5场比赛中的4场胜利。虽然大多数预告都说Al Ittihad会以他们自己的方式赢得比赛，但事情不会那么简单。

如果Damac想继续制造麻烦，他们就需要专注于手头的任务。主队在自己的地盘上看起来自信吗?在最近的8场主场比赛中，他们有7场打进2球或以上，他们的后防线也值得称赞。在过去的11场比赛中，他们平均只丢了1.1个球。

当他们失去形状时，他们会受到惩罚。他们在最近的7场比赛中至少丢了一次球。此外，可能有迹象表明，它们寻找渔网的能力已经下降。
