Hong Kong vs Uzbekistan Prediction and Match Preview

• Uzbekistan won and drew their opening of two World Cup qualifiers and are sitting at second in the Group E standings.
• Hong Kong was winless of both the opening fixtures in the qualifiers and was at the bottom of the same list.
• Three of the last five matches of Hong Kong had goals over 3.5 and their poor defensive performance is the main reason for such a goal trend.

Uzbekistan has a strong form across all competitions of late. They were unbeaten in 11 of the past 12 matches and such a form will count much against this Hong Kong side, who follows a dreadful form of late. Moving on, Uzbekistan failed to keep a clean sheet in the past three matches in a row, which is worth enough noting.

Meanwhile, the Hong Kong side lost six of the last seven matches. But they have scored in the past two matches and have netted 2 goals in their two qualifier games this season. By the looks of things, we expect an interesting match-up between the two here.

Recent Meetings

• This will be marked as the third head-to-head meeting between Hong Kong and Uzbekistan.
• Uzbekistan was unbeaten in both the fixtures and has scored 2 goals in the stretch.
• Their only meeting at this venue ended in a 0-2 win for Uzbekistan and it was in 2013.

Hong Kong vs Uzbekistan Prediction

Hong Kong’s latest home outings were against weaker teams when compared with Uzbekistan’s latest opponents. On top of that, Hong Kong lost four of the past five home outings across all competitions. They have a poor defensive line at home, too.

Meanwhile, Uzbekistan won seven of the past 10 away matches and the defeat they lost just twice in that stretch. With a poor defensive line in the opposition, we expect Uzbekistan to win but not a clean sheet victory, as the Hong Kong side has been consistent in scoring at home. Therefore, we like to suggest Uzbekistan to win and both teams to score as the main pick for this match.

Also, Uzbekistan has scored in both halves in most of their latest away wins. You can also back Uzbekistan to score over 2.5 goals considering their offensive line, which netted goals at an exceptional rate in the previous head-to-heads.
