Uzbekistan vs Hong Kong Prediction & Match Preview

• Hong Kong made an early exit from the AFC Asian Cup group stage as they finished at the bottom of the table, losing all three games. They recently played in the Guangdong – Hong Kong Cup and lost to Guangdong XI in the final.
• Uzbekistan’s AFC Asian Cup campaign was satisfactory as they reached the quarter-finals. In their last match, they defeated Hong Kong by scoring two goals. It is interesting to know that they did not play in any friendly match ahead of this game.

Uzbekistan showcased their offensive prowess as they defeated Hong Kong by 2-0 recently. In the AFC Asian Cup, they had a great campaign and reached all the way to the quarter-final. They managed to hold Australia to a 1-1 draw as well. Most of you are aware that Australia are one of the best teams in the world.

Hong Kong’s performances have been poor. Be it in any competition, they struggle to win. In the recently concluded Guangdong – Hong Kong Cup, they lost by conceding four goals. They are third in Group E and have not won a single match.

Recent Meetings

In the last ten years, both teams competed in three games. Twice in the AFC Asian Cup and the previous meeting in the FIFA World Cup qualifier. Uzbekistan remain unbeaten on all three occasions.

Uzbekistan vs Hong Kong Prediction

Uzbekistan are ranked 66^th in the FIFA ranking after their impressive AFC Asian Cup campaign. While their opponents Malaysia sit at 154^th place. The difference in quality between these two teams in vast.

In Group E, Uzbekistan are in fierce competition with Iran as both teams share the same points. The GD difference is the only reason why Uzbekistan are second in the ranking. Even the H2H record is in Uzbekistan’s favour. We will back Uzbekistan to win this game by 2-0 at the 4.50 odds.

Uzbekistan deserves appreciation for improving their goal-scoring skills in the last few months. Against a top team like Qatar, they scored one goal. Throughout the AFC Asian Cup, they played well and scored six goals combined against India, Australia, and Thailand. In all competitions, Hong Kong have lost seven of their last eight games. This weak form will certainly affect the team’s mentality. Surely, Under 3.5 goals at the 1.81 odds is the best tip for this match.
