United Arab Emirates vs Kyrgyzstan Prediction & Betting Tips (14 November)

After their first round at the 1990 World Cup, the United Arab Emirates are looking to play in a World Cup again. 34 years later, they find themselves in the 3rd round of qualifying for the next edition after having completed their 2nd round campaign at the top of their group. If they were able to launch their journey with a success in Qatar 1-3 in September, Paulo Bento's players missed each other in the following three matches. During the last break, they shared the points with North Korea 1-1 and were beaten in Uzbekistan 1-0. With a record of one victory, one draw and two defeats, the United Arab Emirates occupy 3rd place in the standings, already 6 points behind the first two.

 Independent since 1991, Kyrgyzstan is applying for its first participation in a World Cup. This selection, 103rd in the FIFA rankings, will still have to fight to make its dream come true for the 2026 edition since it has already suffered 3 setbacks in this 3rd round campaign after having won a second place in the 2nd round. The White Falcons were successively dominated by Iran 1-0 and Uzbekistan 2-3 in September, then by Qatar 3-1 on October 10. They reacted on the 4th and final day, beating North Korea 1-0. 

Paulo Bento relies on a majority of players playing in the national championship including Al Ghassani (6 goals in 23 caps), scorer with the national team in October, and Canedo (9 goals in 47 caps). It is necessary to underline the absence of Hamad (20 sel) for this meeting. The midfielder is serving a suspension after being sent off during the last meeting.  The Kyrgyz squad includes players unknown in Europe.

Among them we find defender Brauzman (25 caps), scorer of the winning goal against North Korea in October. Most of this group plays in the country but several deviate from the rule. This is the case of defender Kozubaev (61 selections, Eastern; Hong Kong), midfielder Abdurakhmanov (47 caps, Becamex Binh Duong; Vietnam) but also of the decisive Kojo (8 goals in 21 caps, Dinamo Samarqand; Uzbekistan).
