The Sultan Qaboos Sports Complex in Muscat is about to come alive as Omani side Al-Nahda welcomes Qatar’s Al-Rayyan SC in a Group B face-off that has fans and punters buzzing. If you’re looking for the best Al-Nahda vs Al-Rayyan SC prediction, you’re in the right place—because this fixture, kicking off at 16:30 GMT on October 22, 2025, is shaping up to be more than just another date on the AGCFF Gulf Champions League calendar.
Al-Nahda may not have the market value muscle of their Qatari opponents—€4.40m to Al-Rayyan’s eye-watering €76.30m—but what they lack in financial firepower, they make up for in heart and tactical discipline. Under Tunisian coach Naseef al Biawi, Al-Nahda have been fine-tuning their midfield-to-attack transitions and have shown a knack for surprising bigger names, as they did with their 2-1 upset over Al Nasr back in April 2024 when the odds were heavily stacked against them.
Recent domestic form has been solid for the Omanis, with back-to-back 3-0 wins and a goalless draw keeping them at the summit of their league. The team’s backbone includes national team keeper Fayez al Rushaidi, midfield maestro Harib al Saadi, and a mix of homegrown and foreign attacking talent. However, they’ll have to manage without defender Ahmed al Kaabi, who’s sidelined with an injury—never ideal when you’re up against a side that just scored five in their last continental outing.
Al-Rayyan, meanwhile, are sitting pretty atop Group B after a 5-0 demolition of Tadamon Hadramaut. Portuguese boss Artur Jorge has his team playing a dynamic, attacking style—think quick transitions and lots of movement up front. With Rodrigo Moreno and Aleksandar Mitrovic leading the charge, and Roger Guedes showing he can find the net with ease, the Qataris have the firepower to trouble any defense in the Gulf. They’re not without their injury headaches, but the squad depth means they can cope with a few absentees.
Looking back at their head to head history, Al-Rayyan have had the upper hand, winning both legs when these teams met in the AFC Cup back in 2010. But football has a funny way of serving up surprises—just ask anyone who bet on Al-Nahda against Al Nasr.
Now, onto what you’re really here for: the Al-Nahda vs Al-Rayyan SC prediction and betting tips. The bookies have Al-Rayyan as clear favorites at 2.0 for the away win, with a home win for Al-Nahda priced at 3.5 and a draw sitting at 3.12. Not exactly generous if you’re backing the Omanis, but that’s what happens when you’re up against a squad worth nearly twenty times more.
Our AI-generated best tip is that the away team will score (AS), a prediction carrying a trust level of 5.0/10 and odds of 1.25. It’s not the boldest call, but with Al-Rayyan’s attacking record, it’s hard to argue. The 1x2 prediction leans toward an away win (2), with a trust rating of 4.3 and odds of 2.0—again, reflecting both the gulf in squad value and recent form.
For those looking at the goals market, the AI suggests over 1.5 goals (trust level 4.4, odds 1.32), which seems a safe bet given both teams’ recent scoring habits and Al-Rayyan’s penchant for big wins. The predicted final score? A thrilling 3-2 win for the visitors, with a 1-1 scoreline at halftime. If that plays out, neutrals and fans alike are in for a treat.
To sum up, this Al-Nahda vs Al-Rayyan SC prediction points to an open, attacking contest where the visitors’ firepower should see them through—but don’t write off Al-Nahda’s ability to punch above their weight, especially at home. Whether you’re in it for the betting tips or just the spectacle, this Group B encounter promises entertainment, goals, and maybe even a few surprises—just the way football should be.
