Al-Rayyan SC vs Al-Wakrah SC Prediction: Both teams to score and a total of over 2.5 goals

Al-Rayyan and Al-Wakrah will face off at the Ahmed Bin Ali Stadium for their 5th league game of the season. Both teams have had a fair start so far to the season and the outcome of this game will separate both teams. The last time they met was in the Qatar Cup earlier this year and Al-Wakrah stole the show. We expect a rough one with goals from both teams. Please see the carefully prepared tips.

Al-Rayyan finally secured another league win after two consecutive league defeats. Roger Guedes led his team to a 4-2 win over Al-Shahaniya in their last league game as he scored a brace.
