United Arab Emirates vs North Korea Prediction & Betting Tips (10 October)

8th finalist in the last Asian Cup, the United Arab Emirates are aiming for a spot in the World Cup play-offs at least, if not better, to qualify directly for the most beautiful international competition. Faced with Qatar during the first day, UAE escaped the Qatari trap by winning on the road 1-3 but failed to confirm at home for the reception of Iran 0-1 defeat. During the 2nd round of qualifying, the evening locals took 1st place, far ahead of Bahrain with a total of 16 points, i.e. 5 victories and 1 draw.

 North Korea had much less success in the first two matches in September with a narrow defeat against Uzbekistan on the road 1-0 and a parity score against Asian Cup winners Qatar 2- 2 also returning to the mark in this meeting. In August, this North Korean selection participated in two friendly matches against Jordan for a record that was also fraudulent with a 2-1 defeat in the wake of a 0-0 draw two days earlier. In the 2nd round of qualifying, with 9 points, North Korea finished well behind the Japanese who won their six matches.

It's no secret to announce that the majority of players called to defend the selection play in the country in the different teams (Al-Wasl, Al Wahda, Al Jazira, etc.). Note, however, the summons of the goalkeeper belonging to Wolverhampton, Adli Mohamed (no selection to his credit). It is captain Eisa (79 caps) who should occupy the bars this evening. With 45 and 29 caps to their credit, Al-Hammadi and Al-Attas are the most capped defenders on the list while in the middle we find boys like Ali Salmeen (3 goals in 62 caps), and Al-Zaabi ( 32 capes). Fabio Lima (12 goals in 31 caps), Caio Canedo (9 goals in 45 caps), Ali Saleh (6 goals in 40 caps) and even Abdalla and Al Ghassani (5 goals each in caps) are well operational for this course. However, this is not the case for midfielder Abbas (7 caps, choice), for attacker Badr (3 caps, choice), and for defender Al-Hashemi (16 caps, choice).

Remember that the selection's top active scorer, Ali Mabkhout (85 goals in 114 caps) remains injured and forfeits this gathering. Scorer against Bahrain and author of 3 goals during the 2nd round, Adil Sultan is injured with his club (Ittihad Kalba) and should stay there to heal. Author of 4 terminations throughout the 2nd qualifying round, Il-Gwang Jong will be present for this October training course like the scorers against Qatar in September, Kuk-Chol Kang II and the young 20-year-old talent Il -Song Ri (2 goals in his last 3 matches for the selection). Starting in the central hinge against Qatar, Jang was excluded and will logically serve his suspension this evening. For the rest of the players called up, all play in the country in local teams which remain very, very weak.
