Two Previous Meetings
Republic of Ireland are leading the head-to-head record against Qatar with one win and one draw.
Ireland Trying to Lift Team Spirits
After an unsuccessful World Cup 2026 qualifying campaign, Republic of Ireland will play a couple of friendly matches in preparation for the Nations League, which starts in September.
Earlier this month, they faced Grenada in a friendly and claimed a convincing 5-0 victory. Jack Moylan scored a hat-trick, while Thomas Cannon added a brace.
Republic of Ireland finished 2nd in Group F of the World Cup qualifiers after a dramatic 3-2 win over Hungary, but their campaign ended in the playoffs. They squandered a 2-0 lead against the Czech Republic before losing on penalties after a 2-2 draw in regular time.
Qatar Made it to the World Cup 2026
Julen Lopetegui has successfully led Qatar to their second World Cup appearance, securing a place at the upcoming tournament through the regular Asian qualifiers.
A 2-1 home victory over the United Arab Emirates in mid-October was enough for Qatar to top Group A in the final qualifying phase, with Akram Afif providing assists for Pedro Miguel and Boualem Khoukhi.
Qatar’s most recent outings came in early December at the FIFA Arab Cup, where they suffered defeats to Palestine (1-0) and Tunisia (3-0), while their clash against Syria ended in a 1-1 draw.

Verdict
Republic of Ireland are looking to put their World Cup 2026 disappointment behind them and looked impressive in a recent 5-0 victory over Grenada. I am backing them to win in front of the home crowd against an unconvincing Qatar side.
