Kyrgyz Republic vs UAE prediction

The Kyrgyz Republic’s qualifying campaign comes to an end with this match but as they showed against North Korea on Thursday, they continue to play hard right until the end. They grabbed an 95th minute equaliser in that match to claim a point and there is no sign of them easing off the gas despite qualification being beyond their reach now.

That motivation will likely continue here as they play at home against the United Arab Emirates. It has been a solid enough qualifying campaign so far for the visitors but they will have to play another round as they bid to reach the World Cup in North America next year.

This has been a hugely competitive group and had they been in one of the others, they may have qualified in this round. Still, the UAE will be confident of getting through next time.

They comprehensively beat the hosts when they met in Abu Dhabi back in November and assuming they approach this match with similar motivation, their quality should shine through here.
