Prediction Al-Arabi SC vs Al Shahaniya 2025/2026 season – Betting Tips for the Stars League on 31/10/2025

Match preview: Big favorites at Grand Hamad as Al-Arabi chase runaway rhythm

Al-Arabi SC welcome Al Shahaniya to Grand Hamad Stadium in Doha on 31/10/2025, and the build-up has a clear narrative: form versus fragility. Al-Arabi have ridden a blistering recent spell—three straight emphatic wins in the most recent reports including a 6-1 demolition of Lusail City in the QSL Cup on 28 October, plus 3-1 at Al Sadd and 4-0 at Al Duhail earlier in the month. Their confidence is tangible and the data supports that momentum; the home side’s recent matches have been high-scoring affairs and attacking outputs are eye-catching, with 12 goals recorded in league play and a run showing consistent over-2.5 outcomes at home.

Al Shahaniya arrive with a very different headline. Their league position and numbers underline a campaign of struggle: positioned 12th with just one league win from seven matches and only three goals scored across the season. They did grab a morale-boosting 2-1 victory over Al Sadd in the QSL Cup on 28 October, but that cup success feels more like a flash than a shift—away form has been patchy and defensive frailties have been exposed across the season.

Tactical and statistical leanings — why the market tilts home

Standing at Grand Hamad, Al-Arabi’s attacking averages and shot volumes outweigh Al Shahaniya’s more timid offensive returns. The head-to-head memory from January this year also tilts the psychological edge: Al-Arabi won 3-1 in their previous league meeting. The bookmakers mirror the on-field signals and offer the home side strong support — a home win market price sits around 1.57, translating to a market probability north of 60%. Meanwhile, the goal markets look interesting too: Al-Arabi’s recent fixtures have produced multiple high-scoring results, and the home side’s over-2.5 propensity suggests this could be a match where goals are on the cards.

Betting suggestion Backing Al-Arabi SC to win (1) in the 1X2 market is the clearest play here. The home side’s form, recent heavy scorelines, superior shot metrics and a favorable head-to-head create a compact case for a straight home victory at the quoted 1.57. If you prefer the goals market, consider the over 2.5 option as an alternative, given Al-Arabi’s recent tendency for high-scoring games — but the primary value, based on the available data, is a confident home win.
