Prediction Qatar SC vs Al Shahaniya 2025/2026 – Betting Tips for the QSL Cup on 14/11/2025

Preview: Group-stage collision at Hamad bin Khalifa

The QSL Cup returns to Doha on November 14 and it brings a compact, promising clash as Qatar SC host Al Shahaniya at the Hamad bin Khalifa Stadium. On paper the fixture looks like a mismatch in momentum: Qatar SC sit 14th in the group with just one victory from five matches and a leaky defence that has shipped 15 goals, while Al Shahaniya occupy fifth place after collecting 10 points from five games and showing a more consistent edge on the road. The crowd of 27,000 at the Ring Road venue should expect a lively, open encounter rather than a tight cagey affair.

Form lines and what the numbers say

Qatar SC’s recent string reads with highs and lows — a convincing 6-1 road win earlier in October contrasts sharply with back-to-back defeats in league action. Home statistics underline vulnerability: three goals scored at home versus six conceded, and no clean sheets so far. In contrast Al Shahaniya arrive with better defensive returns overall, two clean sheets recorded, and only one loss among their group games. Their recent calendar, however, also includes a heavy reverse to Al Rayyan (1-5), a reminder that their defensive solidity can be breached by superior attacks.

Shot data and attacking intent hint at an entertaining match. Al Shahaniya average more total shots and dangerous attacks than the hosts, but Qatar SC’s matches have consistently produced goals — every Qatar SC group game registered over 2.5 goals according to the available over/under data. Al Shahaniya’s matches show a 60% frequency of over 2.5 goals, pointing to an upward trend of open, attacking play from both sides.

H2H history gives Qatar SC a narrow edge from September’s early-season Stars League meeting, a 1-0 win, but single past results don’t erase the current form picture: Al Shahaniya are the steadier outfit across group games and look more likely to impose themselves.

How to approach the market

Given the statistical profile—Qatar SC’s games producing goals with alarming consistency and Al Shahaniya’s matches also skewing toward higher totals—the goal market presents the clearest edge.
