Al Rayyan vs Al Ahli Doha tips and predictions

Al Rayyan to build on momentum

It's second placed Al Rayyan versus ninth placed Al Ahli Doha in this QSL clash as the hosts look to pile on the pressure by adding to the 21 points that separate the sides.

Certainly Al Rayyan should start as strong favourites but the price doesn't look too attractive. It's without much fanfare that they are picked to win though.

The hosts have reached 7 wins in 9 matches while the visitors have been out of sorts while losing their last 3 matches home or away. They don't have the tools to manufacture many opportunities here.

This home squad is stringing together some excellent spells and they are a force to be reckoned with when they gel. Al Rayyan have scored two or more goals in 14 of their recent 20 matches.

Al Ahli Doha can be punished when they lose their shape. They're conceding an average of 5.0 goals in their last 3 matches. This is terrible preparation for the task ahead of them.

They have crossed swords before. Al Rayyan have won 14 of the last 20 fixtures between the two teams.

The betting markets imply that neither side will keep a clean sheet during this match despite the favouritism for Al Rayyan. Whatever happens, with the odds-against price on BTTS No, that looks like a good way to extract some value this time around. And for fans of the goal line, it's no more than three goals standing out in this one considering how that market has been priced up.
