United Arab Emirates vs Bahrain Betting Tips: UAE TO WIN

As the top-ranked nation in Group H, Paulo Bento's chosen ones have met their expectations in the second-phase qualifiers for the 2026 FIFA World Cup in a brilliant manner by winning all five of their group-stage matches with an outstanding goal difference of 15-1.

Despite securing their spot in the next phase after the March duo of qualifying matches, the United Arab Emirates haven't taken their foot off the gas pedal, continuing to steamroll their rivals, with Nepal being the latest addition to their hit list as they hammered them 4-0 on the road.

Enjoying a five-point cushion over Bahrain in second, the Whites have sealed the table's summit before the final round, yet they'll be on a frantic quest to wrap up the group without a blemish, capitalizing on their formidable home record of seven victories from eight outings in any format.

Despite not being dominant as section winners, Bahrain have successfully completed their task by securing the decisive qualifying phase, where they'll strive to achieve their long-held aspiration of making it to the World Cup finals for the first time ever.

After claiming three wins and suffering a drubbing from the UAE in their first four matches, Dilmun's Warriors registered their first draw in the qualifiers as they shared a point each with Yemen at their Riffa base in a dull scoreless encounter, albeit the guests missed the penalty.

A lifeless draw in matchday five saw, though, that Dragan Taljic's troops remain unbeaten on goal in the third qualifying match on the bounce, having previously struck a massive eight goals without reply in the March double-header against group minnows Nepal.

However, it's hard to envision Bahrain now keeping their net untouched against UAE's fearsome and free-scoring attack, which averages three goals per game in these qualifiers. Despite being tripped up a couple of times by Dilmun's Warriors in recent H2Hs, we have faith that the Whites will soar past Bahrain this time around, putting a stylish end to the second phase of qualifiers.
