It is more than a decade since the United Arab Emirates and Qatar won the Arabian Gulf Cup. The two nations meet in Group B, battling for the leadership of the pool, as they are tied on six points. As both have done well defensively so far, our prediction will be for at least one side not to score.
The United Arab Emirates have been strong in defence and free-scoring at the same time. In their opening two games here, they’ve scored seven goals and shot to the top of this group.
They followed up on a 4-0 win over Yemen with a 3-0 beating of holders Bahrain. These results ensured a confident bounce back after falling 3-0 to Morocco earlier.
The UAE will get a sterner test on matchday three as they face a Qatari side also on two wins in two. This encounter also gives Qatar the chance to go three matches unbeaten against the UAE.
The last time they met, Qatar bagged a 2-1 win, having drawn 1-1 earlier. Before that, though, the UAE had thrashed them 5-0. In their current form, Qatar will feel they can extend their H2H record against the UAE.
They have only failed to score once in their last four, which was somewhat calamitous, as they fell 6-0 to Canada at the World Cup.

Our United Arab Emirates vs Qatar Prediction
This will be a battle for top position in Group B, and both nations will feel they have the chance after winning their opening two matches. Qatar are second, having scored four goals less than the UAE, but both sides won twice. Also, in the last two meetings between them, Qatar are unbeaten.
For this match, though, we will stick to the goals market. In their last two meetings, both teams scored. However, we will look the other direction as the two nations have been strong in defence. Our prediction for the United Arab Emirates v Qatar is BTTS-No.
