The International Friendly match on 2025-09-07 at Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium in Doha saw Russia defeat Qatar 4-1. Russia dominated possession with 58.9% compared to Qatar's 41.1%. Russia had a significant advantage in shots, registering 19 total shots with 7 on target, while Qatar only managed 4 shots with 2 on target. The AI-powered pre-game prediction favored a Qatar win, with a 38.3% probability compared to Russia's 37.1%, but the actual result was a decisive win for Russia. The pre-game model also suggested a balanced game, which turned out to be incorrect.
Aleksandr Golovin opened the scoring for Russia in the 33rd minute, quickly followed by Matvey Kislyak in the 35th minute. Ivan Sergeev added a third goal just before halftime in the 45th minute. Akram Afif scored for Qatar in the 62nd minute, offering a glimmer of hope, but Alexey Miranchuk sealed the victory for Russia in the 69th minute. Qatar committed fewer fouls (5) than Russia (14), but Russia's attacking prowess proved too much to handle. Qatar's goalkeeper made 3 saves, while Russia's made 1. Russia received 2 yellow cards during the match.
Qatar's recent form has been inconsistent, with a draw against Bahrain (2-2) and a loss to Lebanon (0-1) in their previous friendlies, interspersed with a World Cup Qualifying win against Iran (1-0) but followed by a defeat to Uzbekistan (0-3) and Kyrgyz Republic (1-3). Russia, conversely, has shown better form, with a recent 0-0 draw against Jordan, but before that, a dominant 4-1 victory over Belarus, alongside other solid wins and draws in recent friendlies against Nigeria (1-1), Zambia (5-0) and Grenada (5-0). The score of this game highly contrasts the previous head-to-head games where Qatar managed to draw in two games and winning one back in 2016. This result suggests Russia are improving. Russia's strong attacking performance, as seen against Belarus and in earlier friendlies, continued in this match, making them a team to watch in upcoming fixtures. Qatar will need to address their defensive vulnerabilities and improve their attacking efficiency, especially against stronger opponents.
On September 7, 2025, Qatar will face Russia in an International Friendly at the Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium in Doha. An AI model predicts a Qatar victory, despite Russia holding a slightly higher team rate (0.67) compared to Qatar (0.558). The AI gives Qatar a 38.3% chance of winning, while Russia has a 37.1% chance, with a 24.6% chance of a draw.
Qatar's recent form has been inconsistent, with a draw against Bahrain (2-2) and a loss to Lebanon (0-1). They did manage a 1-0 victory against Iran in World Cup Qualifying. Russia's recent form appears stronger, with comfortable victories against Belarus, Zambia and Grenada.
However, Russia also drew against Jordan (0-0) and Nigeria (1-1) recently. While Russia counts with Aleksandr Golovin as their star midfielder, and young striker Fedor Chalov is one of the league's most promising talents, the AI is favoring the home side. It should be noted that the last head-to-head games have been close, with Qatar having a slight advantage at home. Will the AI's prediction come true, or will Russia defy the odds? Football fans around the world are eager to find out.
