Qatar vs El Salvador: Prediction and Betting Tips

Qatar with very impressive performances aim to go far

After grabbing seven points from three games in the group stage, Qatar clinched the top spot of Group D by beating Honduras in their third match. Qatar have put on some very impressive performances so far and apart from their opening match where they conceded three goals from Panama, coach Felix Sanchez’s team have improved defensively in their next two matches.

The Maroons have two clean sheets in a row and have scored nine goals in three matches. A goal in the 25th minute against Honduras by H.Ahmed gave the lead to Qatar as the Asian Champions focused on their defense and relied on the counters which resulted in 19 goal attempts. The Qatari defense were very solid keeping their goal clear of any Honduras shots.

Despite losing their last group match, El Salvador finished in the second spot in Group A. They recorded two wins prior to that last defeat against Mexico. The Blue and Whites had beaten Guatemala and Trinidad & Tobago by the same scoreline of 2-0. 

El Salvador were dominant in their first two games enjoying the better part of possession in both games and creating many chances with 16 and 19 goal attempts. Against Mexico, though things changed and coach Hugo Perez’s team were forced to defend most of the time having just two shots on the goal.

Qatar vs El Salvador Prediction

Felix Sanchez has proved he is one of the best coaches in preparing teams from scratch. This Qatari team has evolved under the Spaniard in an amazing fashion. The maroons have emerged as favorites to go far in the tournament.

El Salvador will adopt a very defensive style in this match as they don’t have the potential to trouble Qatar. They do have a good defensive record but the teams they played are not of Qatar’s caliber.

Qatar win pays 1.88 at Vbet and we think the Gulf state has a big chance of winning this match if they keep on playing the way they did in the group stages. Total goals of 2 or 3 with 1.94 odds is also a very probable bet.
