Prediction Al Mesaimeer vs Al Khor 2025/2026 – Betting Tips for the QSL Cup on 16/11/2025

Match preview — Group stage tension at Al Seliah Stadium

The QSL Cup returns to Doha for a Group Stage clash that promises competitive drama: Al Mesaimeer welcome Al Khor to Al Seliah Stadium on 16 November 2025. Both sides arrive with similar recent records and a shared appetite to climb the table. Al Mesaimeer sit just below their visitors in the group standings with six points from five matches, while Al Khor’s one-point advantage makes this a vital fixture for either side to tighten their grip on progression hopes. Fans should expect an open contest; recent encounters and attacking metrics point toward a game where both teams can unlock chances.

Form and recent meetings set the tone

The two sides produced a 2-2 draw when they met recently in the league, and that scoreline is a clear indicator of how this rivalry has evolved: chances are created and defenders are tested. Al Mesaimeer have been involved in a run of draws and narrow results — three draws in their last five group encounters and an overall goals tally that matches what they’ve conceded (8 scored, 8 conceded). That symmetry suggests a team that can score but is vulnerable at the back. Al Khor arrive with marginally better numbers in the standings and a slightly superior defensive record overall, yet their recent run includes two losses in the last month, highlighting inconsistency that Al Mesaimeer could exploit.

Looking deeper into the statistics, Al Mesaimeer produce more volume in shooting and offensive activity — more total shots and more corners on average — while Al Khor have shown resilience in keeping clean sheets away from home on occasions. The last head-to-head finished 2-2 with both sides finding the net in each half, and several of the most recent matches for both teams have been high on goal involvement. These trends are hard to ignore when crafting a betting angle.

Match outlook and tactical expectation

Expect Al Mesaimeer to push forward at Al Seliah, using home territory to press and create set-piece opportunities, whereas Al Khor will likely look to balance compact defending with quick transitions. Neither team has a spotless defensive record in the group phase, and the tendency for late goals and drawn encounters in their recent history hints at a contest that remains open until the final whistle. The atmosphere should be lively, with both coaches aware that a positive result will be pivotal for momentum in the QSL Cup group table.

Betting suggestion Both Teams to Score — Yes. Given the recent 2-2 head-to-head, Al Mesaimeer’s attacking output at home, and Al Khor’s mixed defensive form, the most sensible market here is the goal market: both teams finding the net looks the likeliest outcome. Confidence: medium.
