UAE vs Qatar prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups - November 19, 2024
In the sixth round of the Asian World Cup qualifiers, the UAE will face Qatar in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday, November 19. The match is set to kick off at 5:00 PM Central European Time. I suggest betting on the winner of this game.
Match Preview
The UAE has not reached the World Cup finals since 1994. Paulo Bento was brought in last year to change this trend, and under his leadership, the team has shown solid performance.
Currently third in their group, the UAE still has a chance to advance to the next stage of qualification. While a top-two finish seems unlikely, securing a playoff spot would still be considered a success.
Qatar made its first World Cup appearance as the host nation in 2022. Additionally, the team has two consecutive Asian Cup titles under its belt, making it one of the strongest sides on the continent.
However, their qualification campaign has been underwhelming. With seven points and sitting in fourth place, Qatar remains in contention for two direct World Cup spots but cannot afford to drop points in this match.
Match Facts
- The UAE has lost only one of their last six home games.
- At least four goals have been scored in each of Qatar's last five matches.
- The UAE averages 1.4 goals per game at home, while Qatar averages 1.6 goals per game on the road.
Probable Lineups
- UAE: Eisa, Barbosa, Al-Attas, Al-Zaabi, Al-Hammadi, Hunt, Nader, Lima, Al-Gassani, Suhail, Canedo.
- Qatar: Barsham, Lucas, Khoukhi, Salman, Al-Rawi, Al-Hassan, Waad, Afif, Fathi, Al-Ghanem, Ali.
H2H
Both teams have won seven matches against each other, with just one draw in the past 15 years.
Prediction
As the reigning Asian champions, Qatar will likely aim for all three points. The match promises to be tense and engaging, and I suggest betting on the visitors not to lose.
