As club football takes a break in the second week of October, get ready for some thrilling national fixtures. From the UEFA Nations League to World Cup Qualifiers, there’s plenty of exciting football ahead. On October 10th, AFC World Cup Qualifiers take center stage, with one notable match being Qatar vs Kyrgyzstan.
Qatar had conceded an excruciating 1-3 defeat against UAE. It was their opening match of the qualification season. It was pretty much their only defeat in their last 13 matches across all competitions. In their second match, they drew against North Korea with a score line of 2-2.
Qatar will host the Kyrgyzstan side this Thursday in their 3rd qualifying match. The Kyrgyzstan national football team had an unimpressive run so far. As of right now, they are in the 5-match winless streak. They have started this season with double-losing matches. Their recent defeat came from Uzbekistan where the score was 2-3 in favor of the Uzbekistan football team.
So far these two Asian football giants have met only once before. That meeting went in the Qatar national team’s favor as they won 1-0. With all the build-up, it seems the local fans will enjoy a great time watching the game in the stadium.
Qatar National Football Team News
Among the two teams, the Qatar National Football Team has the better momentum. If we strictly talk about their home matches, they have won all the 8 matches out of the 10 last fixtures. And in their 4 of last 7 victories the team has gotten, they have kept clean sheet. In this period where Kyrgyzstan has conceded 10 goals, the Qatar National Football Team has scored 12.
Given the importance of the match on 10th October, and that too on their soil, Qatar will have the upper edge over the visitors. And the momentum they have been in will surely play in their favor. From the likes of Tarek Salman to Lucas Mendes, the Qatar Football Team is ready to get this most important win against Kyrgyzstan.
Kyrgyzstan National Football Team News
The bad away run will surely affect their chances. It is especially true since they will be facing a side who have great momentum coming to this match. So far, Kyrgyzstan National Football Team has a 3-match winless streak. Out of these, they have failed to score in two of them. To give you more clarity, in their last 12 fixtures, Kyrgyzstan National Football Team has won only once.
They will be facing the in-form Qatar on their own soil. So, the difficulty is at its highest. Would the visitors be able to shock the home crowd and come out with a win? Will the Alimardon Shukurov and co. find out a way to stop Qatar? Tune in to the show on 10th October to find out.

Key Players to watch out in Qatar vs Kyrgyzstan
Akram Afif (Qatar)
Akram, who plays in the Qatar Stars League, is a highly regarded footballer. If we speak of his achievements, he had won the 2019 best Asian Footballer of the Year. The Qatar National Team forward had helped his Nation win the Asian Cup in 2019. He also had scored the winning goal that saw Qatar lift the 2023 Arab Cup victory. Both in 2021 and 2023, the Qatari International had led his club to win the League Title. He surely can be the difference-maker in any game.
Joel Kojo (Kyrgyzstan)
If there is one player who can lead Kyrgyzstan from the front, it is Joel Kojo. He made his debut against Iran when his National Team was losing 5 to 1. The forward had many good performances. In the 2023 AFC Asian Cup, the striker scored the only goal against Oman which saw a 1-1 result. And he scored his first International hat-trick against Chinese Taipei that saw the score of 5-1.
Qatar vs Kyrgyzstan Prediction
Looking at all the stats and the fact that Qatar will be playing at home, it should be a comfortable win for the host. Given the past match results, we can expect Qatar to score more than 1 goal. Does Kyrgyzstan have a chance? If they can strike early, perhaps! That is a BIG IF! We can expect Qatar 3-0 Kyrgyzstan at the final whistle.
Predicted Score: Qatar 3-0 Kyrgyzstan
