In their preparation for the 2026 World Cup, Qatar will be up against the Republic of Ireland. The home team beat Qatar the last time they hosted this match. Being also unbeaten in eight games at home, the prediction for this will favor them.
This international friendly will be hosted in Dublin, marking a third meeting between the two nations. Ireland’s World Cup miss still rings fresh, and after thrashing Grenada 5-0, they will be confident of beating a stronger side.
Inside 90 minutes, Ireland are unbeaten in the last six matches. It gets even better at home, as they haven’t lost in eight games there, winning five.
The last time Qatar visited Aviva, they were thumped 4-0, so returning here will be a good test as they prepare for the World Cup. The Asian giants haven’t been in their best form in recent times, coming here winless in four matches.
Across those four games, Qatar suffered three defeats while failing to score in two. This will, however, mark their first match this year, and Julen Lopetegui will be hoping for a better output than in the 3-0 loss to Tunisia in December.
That was one of the games they’ve struggled in, scoring two or more goals in only one of the last seven outings. However, two draws and a win in their latest three away games should give Qatar some confidence.

Our Ireland vs Qatar Prediction
Ireland are still licking wounds from their narrow miss in the quest for a return to the World Cup. A six-game unbeaten run that extends to eight in home matches places them as clear favorites in this encounter.
The last time Ireland hosted Qatar, they beat the Asian nation 4-0, and here they will be targeting a third undefeated outing against Julen Lopetegui’s charges. Qatar aren’t on a strong run ahead of this encounter, winless in their last four games, having lost three times. In this shape, our prediction for the Republic of Ireland v Qatar is that Ireland wins.
