The BetBoom match between Qatar and Russia will take place on September 7 at the Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium in Al Rayyan. Qatar vs. Russia: prediction and betting odds, statistics.

Qatar

For the Qataris, this international break is a crucial phase in preparing for the World Cup qualifiers. The team has reached the fourth round, where they will face Oman and the UAE. In their previous friendly match, Julen Lopetegui's side drew 2-2 with Bahrain. Overall, Qatar has only one win in their last eight friendly matches (3 draws, 4 losses).

• The team has not scored more than one goal in 6 of their last 8 friendly games.
• Qatar has conceded in 5 of their last 6 home friendlies.
• At home, the team has not won 6 of their last 7 friendly matches (3 draws, 3 losses).

Predicted lineup for Qatar (4-4-2)

Meshaal Barsham – Boualem Khoukhi, Bassam Al-Rawi, Pedro Miguel, Tarek Salman – Karim Boudiaf, Ahmed Fathi, Abdulaziz Hatem, Assim Madibo – Almoez Ali, Akram Afif.

Russia

In their match against Jordan, the Russian team did not see any goals. While another clean sheet, their ninth in the last 11 friendlies, was not surprising, Russia failed to score for the first time in 16 previous friendlies. Nevertheless, the team remains unbeaten in 22 friendly matches (13 wins, 9 draws). Russia has scored at least three times in 9 of their last 11 friendly games.

• At least three goals have been scored in 10 of Russia's last 12 friendlies.
• The team has not conceded more than one goal in their last 10 away friendlies.
• Russia has not lost in their last 10 away friendlies (4 wins, 6 draws).

Predicted lineup for Russia (4-5-1)

Matvey Safonov – Ilya Samoshnikov, Igor Diveev, Danil Krugovoy, Maxim Osipenko – Matvey Kyslyak, Alexey Miranchuk, Danil Glebov, Alexey Batrakov, Alexander Golovin – Ivan Sergeyev.

Goalkeeper Alexander Maksimenko, defender Ilya Vakhania, and midfielders Kirill Glebov, Alexander Chernikov, and Ruslan Litvinov did not travel to Qatar.

Prediction for the BetBoom match Qatar vs. Russia

Valery Karpin's side is set to face a familiar opponent. The teams met in September 2023, also in Qatar, and the match ended 1-1. I believe we will see both teams score again this time.

In the game against Jordan, Russia ended their long scoring streak. The team had chances, but luck was not on their side with finishing. In the upcoming match, we are likely to see a different lineup, including all the foreign players. I'm confident this factor will help Valery Karpin's side to convert at least one attack into a goal. However, it should be noted that there were defensive concerns after the last match. Jordan had opportunities to score, and more than once.

In the third stage of the Asian qualifiers, Qatar was the fourth-highest scoring team. The team also regularly finds the net in friendlies, scoring in 11 of their last 14 matches. However, it's important to note that Qatar conceded 24 goals in the aforementioned qualifiers, the worst record among all 18 participants. Given these defensive stats at the official level, it's unlikely Qatar will improve in this area in a friendly match.

My prediction: Both teams to score – yes
