UAE Preview: Routine victory the second of UAE’s group stage campaign

UAE come into this latest round of third round fixtures in third-place and with Uzbekistan firmly in the sights following a three-point swing only a few days ago. Whilst they brushed aside Kyrgyz Republic 3-0, opponents Qatar overcame Uzbekistan to really open up Group A and create a significant gap between the top four and the bottom two.

Qatar Preview: Uzbekistan stunner breathes life into Qatari qualification charge

Qatar recorded what has to be seen as the most notable result across Group A since the beginning of the third round, after a dramatic 112th minute penalty saw them defeat Uzbekistan by three goals to two. That win took them to seven points and just three points adrift of the automatic World Cup qualification places.

Key Stats

  • UAE have lost only two of their previous 11 matches in the current World Cup qualifying campaign (W7 D2).
  • UAE have lost only two of their last 17 World Cup qualifying matches in UAE (W11 D4).
  • UAE have not conceded more than one goal in any of their previous 11 matches in the current World Cup qualifying campaign.
  • Qatar have lost only two of their last 19 World Cup qualifying matches (W14 D3). *Includes the 2022 qualifiers which Qatar participated in as they were also qualifying matches for the AFC Asian Cup.

UAE vs Qatar Prediction

Across the third round of this AFC World Cup qualification stage so far, these two nations have conceded 16 goals between them, 12 of them being shipped by Qatar. When taking this into account, the UAE will fancy their chances of getting on the scoresheet more than once here. However, Qatar are coming off the back of having scored three themselves and the confidence such a late victory will have brought to their squad is not to be underestimated. They may well be afforded opportunities on the counter-attack in particular and both teams to score looks very much on the cards.

UAE vs Qatar Tip: Both teams to score
