Qatar vs Uzbekistan Prediction & Match Preview

• Uzbekistan go into this unbeaten in eleven consecutive matches in all competitions.
• Qatar did not shine in a narrow 2-1 win over Palestine in the last 16 round on Monday.
• None of the previous three H2H clashes between these rivals provided three or more goals.

Hosts Qatar will face their toughest challenge yet at the 2024 AFC Asian Cup on Saturday afternoon. They take on Uzbekistan in the quarterfinal at Al Bayt Stadium in Al Khor. Qatar conceded their first goal in the tournament on Monday afternoon in the R16 clash against Palestine. Nevertheless, Hassan Al Haydos drew them level just before the half-time break while their best player Akram Afif found the second-half winner to send the team to the final eight of the competition.

Qatar thus have all four wins so far in the tournament. Three men have been their standout figures. Akram Afif notched a goal in all four outings, while Hassan Al Haydos and Almoez Ali bagged the team’s remaining three goals.

Uzbekistan are also unbeaten going into this tie. They claimed the second place in Group B with one win and two draws. Their best display came in the second round of the group stage. Uzbekistan demolished India 3-0 on the occasion.

The team led by Slovenian manager Srecko Katanec went past Thailand with a 2-1 win on Tuesday in the R16. Abbosbek Fayzullayev notched the decisive goal in the second half of the affair. Uzbekistan are now unbeaten in eleven consecutive outings in all competitions.

Qatar vs Uzbekistan Prediction

Qatar have been very difficult to break down throughout the whole tournament. However, we must say they haven’t been properly tested yet. They have faced the likes of Lebanon, Tajikistan, China, and Palestine in previous four games.

Uzbekistan showed their quality in a 1-1 draw to Australia in the group phase. They did not shine in the last 16 round against Thailand but still went through deservedly. The fact that Uzbekistan are undefeated in eleven consecutive outings in all competitions is quite impressive.

We will back the visitors to continue it on Saturday. You can have Uzbekistan to win or draw double chance at the 1.50 odds.

We will alternatively shoot for the Under 1.5 goals FT bet at the 2.50 odds. Both teams have been rock-solid defensively throughout the tournament. Also, none of their previous three head-to-head matches produced three or more goals. We would not be surprised to witness a goalless draw in the regular time of this match.
