United Arab Emirates and Yemen lock horns at King Abdullah Sports City in their opening Group B fixture of the Arabian Gulf Cup. The UAE have dominated their opponents in recent meetings, winning their last five straight competitive matches. With each encounter producing over 2.5 goals, our prediction is for a United Arab Emirates win and over 2.5 goals.
The United Arab Emirates return to competitive action for the first time since playing out a goalless draw with Saudi Arabia in the FIFA Arab Cup third-place playoff.
It was their second successive match without a win. However, it must be mentioned that they've lost just one of their last five competitive matches entering this clash (W1, D3).
The White Jersey now turns its attention to the Arabian Gulf Cup. Their performance in the previous edition left much to be desired, as they finished third with two points in Group B. The objective is quite simple: go one better this time around.
Yemen are making their third successive appearance in the Arabian Gulf Cup and their 11th overall. In the previous edition, the team finished at the bottom of the table in Group B.
Despite that setback, the Happy Yemen reached a historic landmark in the tournament. A 2-1 victory over eventual champions Bahrain secured their first win in the team's history. Before this, they had gone 35 matches without a win (D6, L29).
