When Al Rayyan and Qatar SC compete on Thursday afternoon, a spot in the Qatari Stars Cup finals will be up for grabs.
Recently, the hosts have been performing well, with Leonardo Jardim’s team going into Thursday’s game with only one loss in their last six matches. They have won four times and drawn once. Their latest victory was a 6-0 triumph over Al-Markhiya in the league, a momentum they hope to maintain in Thursday’s semi-final.
Meanwhile, Qatar SC has not experienced much success in recent matches, entering this game with only one victory from their last four league games, suffering two losses and one draw. However, the team led by Hélio Sousa will take encouragement from the fact that they have won two of their last three encounters with their current opponents.
Al Rayyan vs Qatar SC Betting Tips: Under 2.5 goals
This season, Al Rayyan has excelled both offensively and defensively. Leonardo Jardim’s team has achieved five clean sheets in their last six matches, with half of these matches ending with two or fewer goals.
Lately, Qatar SC has been struggling with defence, having only one game without conceding a goal in their last seven. However, only three of these games saw more than 2.5 goals. Despite the defense issues, Sousa’s team has shown good defensive performance in their recent encounters with Al Rayyan.
In the past five encounters between these two teams, Qatar SC has only allowed one goal or none in four games. Similarly, an equal number of games concluded with less than 1.5 goals.

Al Rayyan team news
Rodrigo Moreno was unavailable for the last game against Al-Markhiya due to a suspension, but the former Leeds United forward will be ready to play in this game.
Sofiane Boufal is dealing with a muscle injury. However, he is the only player from Al Rayyan who is injured before Thursday’s game, as the left winger’s condition remains a concern.
Considering that all the front three players scored in the last match, the head coach Leonardo Jardim might not feel the need to reorganize his front line, even with Rodrigo’s return.

Qatar SC team news
Qatar SC, like their hosts, also have only one player injured ahead of this game. Midfielder Omar Al-Emadi has been sidelined with a knee injury since August and isn’t anticipated to be fit for play until February at the earliest.
It is anticipated that Hélio Sousa will make adjustments to the team that lost an initial lead in their last match. However, Ben Malango, who scored his fourth goal of the season in that game, is set to retain his position in the final. The 30-year-old’s place in the game is secure.
