Yemen vs Saudi Arabia: Gulf Cup of Nations match prediction

Current form

Yemen does not have a strong squad to compete equally with many opponents on its continent. However, the team has a reliable defense and rarely allows itself to suffer major losses. Thus, taking into account all tournaments, the team last suffered a major defeat in March to the UAE (0:3). After that failure, seven matches were played, in which they managed to win only once, but at the same time they did not lose to anyone with a difference of more than one goal. In the first round of the Gulf Cup of Nations, there was a minimal defeat 0:1 to Iraq.

Disqualifications and injuries

There are no injured or disqualified players in the national team.

Interesting trends for betting

• Only one of Yemen last five matches has seen more than two goals scored
• Yemen last five matches have ended in a draw in the first half

Estimated composition: Aman - Al-Wasmani, Al-Zubaidi, Aleppo, Al-Hubaishi - Al-Golan, Anbar - Al-Gawashi, Al-Najjar, Al-Matari - Al-Dahi.

Current form

Saudi Arabia is one of the strongest teams in its region. However, the team is currently going through hard times. Thus, at the third stage of the World Cup qualifying tournament, the team is only in fourth place in the group, which does not give a direct ticket to the World Cup. In general, taking into account all tournaments, the Saudis have won only one victory in the last six matches. At the start of the Gulf Cup of Nations, the team was defeated by Bahrain with a score of 2:3, and in the first half of that game they were losing 0:2.
