DWLLWD ⚖

Al-Rayyan will play in this match coming off the back of a 1-1 Stars League draw versus Al-Sadd.

The only name on the scoresheet from Al-Rayyan was Aleksandar Mitrović (90'). Firmino (27') was the scorer for Al-Sadd.

Al-Rayyan have been finding it hard to keep clean sheets lately, but they’ve also done enough to convert their own chances into goals. Analysis of their previous 6 games shows that Al-Rayyan have been punished defensively in 6 of them in addition to getting on the scoresheet in 6 of those games.

Umm Salal

WWDWDL

Following on from tasting defeat last time out to Al-Shamal in Stars League action, Umm Salal will be aiming to make amends here.

The only name on the scoresheet from Umm Salal was Antonio Mance (75'). Omid Ebrahimi (6'), Baghdad Bounedjah (45') and Collado (59') scored for Al-Shamal.

Illustrating their penchant for eventful matches, the back of the net has been hit 20 times in the previous 6 matches in which Umm Salal have played, making it an average of 3.33 goals each fixture. Their opponents have got 8 from this total. Such a pattern might not be carried forward into this next game, however.

↔️ Head to head

Looking at their past head to head results going back to 02/03/2023 tells us that these encounters have been miserable for Umm Salal. They have not been able to get any victories at all while Al-Rayyan have been too good for them, beating them in 67% of those matches.

There were also goals galore in those games, with 23 in all at an average of 3.83 goals per meeting.

The previous league clash between these sides was Stars League match day 10 on 22/11/2025 which ended up with the score at Umm Salal 1-2 Al-Rayyan.

💭 Prediction

We’ve got the feeling that Al-Rayyan can and should convert a lot of goal-scoring opportunities.

At the other end, Umm Salal will not find it easy to break down their defence although we do think that they will probably end up scoring here.

We reckon that it will be a controlled 3-1 victory for Al-Rayyan at the end of the match.
