Prediction Al Sailiya vs Al Rayyan 2025/2026 season – Betting Tips for the QSL Cup on 14/11/2025

Match preview — Jassim Bin Hamad set for another high-voltage night

Doha’s Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium will host what looks like a compelling Group Stage clash in the QSL Cup on 14 November, as Al Sailiya entertain table-toppers Al Rayyan. With Al Rayyan sat second in the group on 13 points and undefeated through five matches, they arrive with clear momentum. Al Sailiya, in contrast, sit down the table with nine points from five games and a mixed sequence of results that has swung between convincing wins and worrying defeats. The stage is set for a game where the visitors will feel they can bully their way to another result, while the hosts will lean on home comfort and familiarity to try and disrupt Al Rayyan’s rhythm.

Form and recent performances

Al Rayyan have been prolific: 18 goals scored and an attack that averages 12.4 total shots and 35 shots on target across the sample, underlining their threat in transition and in the final third. Their last outing — a 5-1 demolition of Al Shahaniya — showcased their capacity to overload opponents and turn chances into goals, with Róger Guedes earning a perfect 10 rating that day. Al Sailiya arrive after a 2-2 draw with Al Duhail but their form is inconsistent; while they’ve produced emphatic 3-0 wins away from home, they’ve also conceded three goals in recent defeats and have allowed seven goals across the group stage. The hosts rely on a compact approach at times, but they have been involved in high-scoring fixtures frequently — four of their five group matches have gone over 2.5 goals.

Numbers that matter

This is a clash of styles on paper: Al Rayyan lead the metrics for attacking intent — more shots, more dangerous attacks (65 vs 41.4), and a significantly higher goals tally. Al Sailiya’s defensive record at home shows moments of resilience (two clean sheets), but their overall goals conceded (7) and the fact that both teams have been involved in games with plenty of scoring suggests this will not be a cagey encounter. The over-2.5 indicator is strong for both sides: Al Rayyan’s matches have produced Over 2.5 in every recorded group fixture, and Al Sailiya have done so in 80% of theirs. Historical context adds weight: the meeting earlier in the season saw Al Rayyan win 3-1, a result that hints at repeatability for an attack-minded visitors’ performance.

Betting suggestion

Given the attacking profiles and recent scorelines, the smartest single-market play here is the goal market. Back Over 2.5 goals — the data favors a game with multiple finishes: Al Rayyan’s firepower combined with Al Sailiya’s tendency to be caught open and involved in high-scoring matches makes this the most natural market to target.
