Qatar vs Bahrain Prediction

The Maroons have registered just one win against the visitors since 2004, which is a cause for concern, though that win was registered at home in the FIFA Arab Cup. They have scored six goals in three home games in 2025 and will look to continue that form.

The Pearl Divers have recorded just two wins in 2025 thus far, with one of them registered on their travels. They have failed to score in four of their last six games and will look to improve upon that record.

Both teams are warming up for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers with friendlies this month and will look to avoid injuries. With that in mind and considering their current form, they are expected to settle for a draw.

Prediction: Qatar 1-1 Bahrain
