On January 12, in the match of the 1st round of the group stage of the Asian Cup, a meeting will take place in which Qatar will play against Lebanon. In this meeting there is a clear favorite of the confrontation, as well as a clear outsider.
Qatar
After a rather disappointing 1:2 defeat to Jordan in a friendly match, Qatar will try to improve the situation in the game against Lebanon. Already at the start of the group stage of the Asian Cup, Qatar will have to play with one of the weakest teams in its group.
The matches involving Qatar have been very productive lately. In the last six games, the teams scored a total of 21 goals (an average of 3.5 per match), of which 13 were scored by the Qatari players themselves.
Lebanon
In the last match, the Lebanese suffered a disappointing defeat from Saudi Arabia. Now they have to play with the favorite of their group in the Asian Cup.
Interestingly, Lebanon conceded in five of their previous six games. In total, their opponents scored 8 goals.
Confrontation statistics
Head-to-head meetings between Qatar and Lebanon are rarely without goals and always delight the audience with bright moments. The last match of these teams at the 2019 Asian Cup ended with a score of 2:0 in favor of the Qatar team.
Prediction for the match Qatar - Lebanon
I believe that Qatar will win a convincing victory. It is very important for a team to start a major tournament with a confident victory in order to set the tone for good results in the future. I don’t rule out that Lebanon will try to resist, but Qatar still has a much stronger squad. I'll bet on the first team to win with a -1.5 handicap.
