Saudi Arabia vs United Arab Emirates prediction

Both these two sides were beaten without scoring a goal in the semi-finals. Whilst Saudi Arabia narrowly lost out to Jordan by a goal to nil, United Arab Emirates were outclassed by Morocco, losing 3-0 in Al Rayyan. They clash here for the right to finish in third place and with the pressure off, both should prove more effective in front of goal.

In a match like this, you’d expect it to be more open with far more risks taken offensively by Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates, risks that could see either side caught out at the other end of the field. Therefore, back both teams to score regardless of which one ends up securing that third-place finish. 

Saudi Arabia vs United Arab Emirates tip: Both teams to score
