Qatar had a disappointing debut in the 2022 World Cup, losing all three matches and finishing bottom of their group despite playing at home.

However, they recovered by defending their AFC Asian Cup title and will aim for a better showing this time around.

They are winless in their last five friendly matches, losing four of them.

El Salvador come into this match as underdogs and have little to lose against a side eager to conclude their World Cup preparations with a victory.

Our prediction: Qatar are likely to edge out a narrow win with both teams finding the net.
