Preliminary Review and Match Prediction For Iraq vs UAE
Iraq are playing for their pride and will take some confidence from their first match in the UAE when they drew 2-2. No wins in eight games however has been disappointing for the Iraqi fans as they hope to back their team in Baghdad for the first time in a long time.
In their last match, Iraq drew 1-1 away to Lebanon in a match where the Lions scored first. Still, Iraq couldn’t keep their goal clean as they haven’t been able to in eight of their last ten fixtures. As a result, the newly appointed interim coach Shahad’s first intention will be to shut down the UAE attack.
The UAE had a slow start in the third phase of the World Cup qualifiers but two wins in their last three outings made a huge difference. In fact, the Whites beat Lebanon and Syria which allowed them to surpass the Lebanese team and claim the third position by three points difference.
Hence, the UAE will do their best not to miss this chance to reach the playoffs by finishing third. To do that nonetheless, coach Arruabarrena must prepare his team in the best possible way. Despite conceding six goals in eight games, their attack is also weak with six goals.
Iraq vs United Arab Emirates Prediction
The UAE need three points more than Iraq and will be keen to minimize mistakes. Thus, we will witness a balanced strategy by coach Arruabarrena and play to win. Consequently, we predict an away win but will combine it with a draw and under 3.5 goals.
Safe Bet
There is a 35 % chance for both teams to score in this chance. In detail, BTTS happened in Iraq’s 50% of home matches while none of UAE’s last ten on the road games saw goals on both ends. As a result, we consider both teams to score as our safe bet choice with odds of 1.69 at Vbet.
Quick Rich
As we covered earlier in our article, the last two h2h meetings ended in draws. Moreover, the probability is 30% according to the stats. Therefore with odds of 2.98, we will back a draw as our choice for a quick profit.
Iraq vs United Arab Emirates First Goalscorer
Brazilian Nationalized player Canedo plays for the UAE national team since 2020. In 18 caps the 31-year-old scored six goals. Also, he has been playing in the UAE league since 2014 and was the top scorer in the Emirates league twice. We predict Canedo to be the first goalscorer in this match.
