Damac FC’s Struggles: Winless Streak and Defensive Concerns

Their struggles are further compounded by their inability to capitalize on home advantage, as they have now gone ten home games without a win. This season, they have not managed to score a single goal at home, indicating a serious lack of offensive firepower.
Defensively, Damac FC has been porous, conceding at least one goal in each of their last ten matches. With Al-Shabab FC’s current scoring form, this defensive fragility could be a key factor in determining the outcome of the match.
