With the World Cup being expanded to 48 teams, every continent got a few more spots, including Asia, so we will see some new teams at the most elite football tournament. The United Arab Emirates only participated in 1990, while Qatar debuted two years ago as a host. Now, both teams are fighting for a place in the next tournament.
Iran is surely the best team in this group, but for second place, they are fighting Uzbekistan, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar. The United Arab Emirates were on the run of three games in a row without a win until the previous round, when Paulo Bento's team won 3-0 at home against Kyrgyzstan. United Arab Emirates usually have problems with scoring, but this time their efficiency was off the charts.
Qatar started the current phase with only one point from the first two rounds, but after six points in the next three matches, Qatar again found itself in the race for the World Cup 2026. In the previous round, Tintin Marquez's team won 3-2 at home against Uzbekistan. The teams were close to splitting the points, but Lucas Mendes found the game-winning goal in the 90+12th minute for the home team's big celebration.
United Arab Emirates vs Qatar pick: Over 2.5 goals
The United Arab Emirates showed a solid attacking level in the previous round, while Qatar scored ten goals in the five matches in the current phase.
