UAE vs Qatar Preview

Competition: AFC World Cup Qualifiers.
Date: Tuesday, November 19.
Time: 5:00 PM GMT.
Venue: Al Nahyan Stadium.

UAE vs Qatar will be the sixth match for both these teams in Group A of the AFC World Cup Qualifiers as the third-placed side prepare to host the team in fourth place.

The hosts will enter this match on the back of a mixed run of form. They have secured two wins, one draw and fallen to two defeats in their last five matches across competitions. Now, they will look to find some consistency in their results as they look to bridge the gap with group leaders Iran. Having defeated Kyrgyzstan 3-0 in their last match, UAE will look to extend their winning run to the next one and beyond.

Qatar, on the other hand, will enter this contest on the back of a similar run of form compared to their next opponents. They too have won two, drawn one and lost two of their last five matches across competitions. Of late, they have been involved in very high-scoring games, with each of their last six matches seeing at least three goals being scored between the two teams. They defeated Uzbekistan 3-2 in their last match and will look to carry that form forward.

On that note, let’s take a look at the team news from both camps.

UAE National Football Team News

Manager Paulo Bento fielded a strong lineup in his team’s 3-0 win against Kyrgyzstan last time out. However, they came out with two injury concerns from that match. Defensive pair Zayed Sultan and Khalifa Al-Hammadi were both subbed off with knocks, throwing their participation in the next match up in the air. Apart from them, everyone else is fit and available for selection.

Qatar secured a dramatic 102^nd minute win against Uzbekistan last time around. So while there are no injuries to report within the squad, the players will be fatigued from their monumental effort in the last game. Manager Tintin Marquez will be acutely aware of the same and will look to rotate his troops effectively.

Key Players to Watch

Harib Suhail (UAE)

The attacking midfielder will be in the spotlight for the next one after bagging a brace to help his team defeat Kyrgyzstan a couple of days ago. He scored the go-ahead goal to make it 1-0 in the 15^th minute and then put the seal on the result with an 89^th minute strike to make it 3-0. Playing mostly as a shadow striker, Suhail will need to put in a shift to help his team.

Akram Afif (Qatar)

The Qatari skipper put in an important performance in their last match as he continues to make a telling impact on their results. Afif provided assists for both of Almoez Ali’s first-half goals as Qatar raced into a two-goal lead before the break. His team will look for more of the same from him.
