Nepal
UAE
One of the matches in the Asian qualifiers for the World Cup will take place on Thursday in Dammam, where the Nepal national team will face the UAE. We present a prediction for this match from the team of experts at Dailysports.
Nepal
The Nepal national team once again failed to qualify for the continental tournament, though even the most ardent fans did not expect a miracle from their team. Similarly, in the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup, the Italian coach Vincenzo Annese's team predictably lags behind.
In four matches, the Nepal team lost all four, failing to score while conceding 14 goals. In the opening round, Nepal lost 4-0 away to the UAE, followed by a 0-2 away defeat to Yemen. Then, in two spring matches against Bahrain, Nepal conceded eight goals. As a result, Nepal sits at the bottom of Group H's standings.
UAE
The UAE national team, led by Paulo Bento, competed in the Asian Cup this winter. In the group stage, they finished second, defeating Hong Kong (3-1) and drawing 1-1 with Palestine. Thanks to a better goal difference, they edged out Palestine, but in the Round of 16, the UAE lost to Tajikistan in a penalty shootout.
In the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, the UAE started very successfully, taking maximum points in four matches. They defeated Nepal (4-0), Bahrain (2-0), and Yemen twice - 2-1 at home and 3-0 away. With 12 points, Paulo Bento's team confidently leads the group, three points ahead of Bahrain.
