Al-Rayyan SC vs Al-Wakrah SC Prediction: Both teams to score and a total of over 2.5 goals

Al-Rayyan and Al-Wakrah will face off at the Ahmed Bin Ali Stadium for their 5th league game of the season. Both teams have had a fair start so far to the season and the outcome of this game will separate both teams. The last time they met was in the Qatar Cup earlier this year and Al-Wakrah stole the show. We expect a rough one with goals from both teams. Please see the carefully prepared tips.

Al-Rayyan finally secured another league win after two consecutive league defeats. Roger Guedes led his team to a 4-2 win over Al-Shahaniya in their last league game as he scored a brace. Their AFC Champions League campaign started with a defeat which was expected considering the strength of their opponents; Al-Hilal. They fell to a 1-3 defeat but they found the net. Al-Rayyan is not 5th placed in the league table with 2 wins and 2 losses from 4 games played and they’ll be hoping to get another win on Sunday as they take on Al-Wakrah.

Al-Wakrah have only won a league game from the 4 games they’ve played this season. Their opening league game against Al-Ahli ended in a 2-2 draw, their second league game against Al-Wakrah ended in a 1-1 draw, and they finally secured a 0-1 win in their 3rd league game against Al-Shahaniya while they lost their 4th league game of the season by a 0-2 scoreline to Al-Duhail. 

Al-Rayyan currently leads in their H2H statistics in their last 20 encounters with 12 wins, while Al-Wakrah plays catch up with 6 wins and 2 draws.

Firstly, I'd like to state that it’s always a high-scoring encounter whenever these teams meet as there has been a total of over 2.5 goals in 8 of their last 9 encounters, and with their current form we still expect them both to find the net, and also produce a total of over 2.5 goals. We should also expect goals in both halves of the game. Please see some of their head-to-head streaks below;

• More than 2.5 goals in 8 of their last 9 meetings
• Al-Rayyan has scored first in 4 of their last 5 meetings
• More than 10.5 corners in 4 of their last 5 meetings
