Command Analysis
UAE
U.A.E.Current form
At the tournament in Kuwait, the UAE team is not living up to expectations and risks not making it out of the group. Paulo Bento men have only one point after two rounds in Group A and are in third place. Today, they only need a win to count on continuing the fight. At the start, the team drew with Qatar (1:1), and in the second round, they suffered a sensational defeat to Kuwait (1:2), conceding the decisive goal at the very end literally right after Kouadio was sent off. It should be noted that before this tournament, the team confidently played two World Cup qualifying matches against Kyrgyzstan (3:0) and Qatar (5:0).
Disqualifications and injuries
Kouadio will serve a disqualification.

6.80Tip and bets
The UAE team has not lost its chances to continue the fight; it needs to win today in the final round. The team is quite capable of handling this task, as it has a more balanced and even composition. Oman, one might say, gave its maximum in the two starting rounds, but is unlikely to be ready for another surprise.
Our prediction is a victory for the UAE team with a coefficient of 1.78
Bet on total
Face-to-face confrontations usually take place in a fairly close fight without an abundance of goals scored. In the last nine personal meetings, the opponents have never distinguished themselves by more than two goals scored. Accordingly, we recommend another option for betting.
The second bet is total under 2.5 goals with odds of 1.65
Bet on the first half
In the three previous matches involving Oman, a draw was recorded in the opening 45 minutes. We expect the same outcome in the upcoming match.
Prediction - draw in the first half with odds of 2.10
