Qatar vs Palestine Prediction & Match Preview

• The hosts topped Group A without any problems, winning all three games without conceding at all along the way.
• Qatar go into this on the back of three straight wins over Palestine.
• Akram Afif has three goals to his name in three appearances in the tournament.

Hosts Qatar will be looking to preserve their perfect record at the 2024 AFC Asian Cup on Monday afternoon when they host Palestine in the last 16 round of the competition. The Qatari team cruised past their Group A rivals without conceding a single goal in three wins over Lebanon, Tajikistan, and China.

Their head coach Tintin Marquez gave rest to his key players in the last group game against China, namely Akram Afif and Almoez Ali who have been fantastic so far in the tournament,. Afif has three goals and two assists while Ali added one goal and two assists in three matches. This duo could create a lot of problems to the Palestinian back line on Monday.

Palestine made history by claiming their inaugural win at the AFC Asian Cup last Tuesday. They did so in some fashion, destroying Hong Kong 3-0 to qualify for their first-ever knockout stage appearance in big style. Makram Daboub’s men had earlier claimed one point from the opening two matches against Iran (a 1-4 loss) and UAE (a 1-1 draw).

Recent Meetings

• Qatar have been the dominant force in the history of this matchup with six wins and two draws in the last eight clashes against Palestine.
• Qatar have won each of the last three meetings with the Palestinians, including a 3-0 victory in the most recent game played in September 2018.
• Palestine have failed to find the back of the net in four consecutive matches against Qatar.

Qatar vs Palestine Prediction

Qatar have been very impressive in the group stage and we believe they should not have too many problems to get past knockout-stage debutants on Monday. The hosts are yet to concede a goal in the tournament and they kept their net untouched in the last four head-to-head encounters with Palestine. The main pick is Qatar to win in -1.5 Asian Handicap at the 2.35 odds.

Akram Afif has been the standout performer for Qatar in the group stage of the competition. Palestine revealed defensive weaknesses in a 1-4 defeat to Iran at the start of the tournament. We can find the value in backing Afif to score anytime at the 2.40 odds.
