United Arab Emirates vs Australia Prediction

In the second phase of their qualifying campaign, UAE made a slow start and looked unlikely to progress from their five-team group but four consecutive wins in their last four games were enough to see them through to the next phase. In round three they were grouped with Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Iraq and South Korea but despite not getting a win on the board until game six, managed to sneak into third place in the group.

Back-to-back defeats in games 8 and 9 against Iran and Iraq looked to have ended their hopes of making into third but a fine 1-0 away in South Korea on the final matchday, while Iraq could manage only a 1-1 draw with Syria, was sufficient to see them claim the final playoff spot.

Massive Win Over South Korea

The important win in South Korea came after a change of manager, with Rodolfo Arruabarrena overseeing the UAE’s most important win in years in his very first game in charge. It was a win, against the odds, that set them up with this chance to take another step closer to only their second-ever World Cup Finals.

They warmed up for this massive game with a friendly against Gambia – ranked 123rd in the world by FIFA – but could only manage a 1-1 draw. Despite going ahead through an Ali Mabkhout penalty, the Gambians equalized and so UAE will need to show more resolve against a very decent Australia team.

United Arab Emirates vs Australia Head-to-Head Stats

Flying Start for Socceroos

Australia smashed their second qualifying group with a perfect record of eight wins from eight, scoring 28 goals and conceding just two, and carried that brilliant form into the third qualifying phase where they were grouped with China, Vietnam, Oman, Japan and Saudi Arabia.

Three straight wins in their opening three games set them up perfectly for a route to Qatar but consecutive draws against Saudi Arabia (h) and China (a) in games 4 and 5 slowed their progress. With only one more win forthcoming and then losing the last two games of the group against Japan (h) and Saudi Arabia (a), they had to settle for third place – the playoff spot.

United Arab Emirates vs Australia Pick

While I expect this to be much closer than the odds suggest, it’s hard to make a strong case for a UAE win. Australia’s starting XI will be stronger and they have more squad depth and if they play well they should win the game.

I don’t however expect a goal-fest and it could be as narrow as a one-goal win for the Aussies.

Pick: Australia to win (-140) / Australia to win 2-1 (+800)
