Top-3 Predictions for United Arab Emirates vs Syria
Bookmaker Ratings prediction one: UAE Win – 2.09
Bookmaker Ratings prediction two: UAE -0.5 Goals Handicap – 2.02
Bookmaker Ratings prediction three: UAE Win or Draw and Under 3.5 Goals – 1.53
UAE Win
The UAE came back from Lebanon with a crucial win and stole third place from their hosts. Coach Bert Van Marwijk knows there is no margin for errors in this match with four rounds remaining in the third stage qualification. Playing in front of their fans, the Whites are the favorites to win this match against a Syria side who have just two points.
UAE -0.5 Goals Handicap
Winning four of their last seven home games by one or more goals, the UAE can be backed to enter this match with a -0.5 goals handicap as they beat that in all four matches.
UAE Win or Draw and Under 3.5 Goals
The double chance of a home win or draw has a big probability in this match since the UAE drew two of their last three home games of the WCQ third stage matches. Additionally, five of UAE’s last six matches ended in under 2.5 goals. While Syria’s five of their last six WCQ matches saw under 3.5 goals.

Preliminary review and match prediction for UAE vs Syria
It hasn’t been a successful third-stage qualifying campaign for the UAE as they couldn’t win any of their first five matches. Nevertheless, after beating Lebanon in the last round, the Whites find themselves with a chance to finish third and advance to the fourth stage.
Clearly, Bert Van Marwijk’s team must take matters into their own hands and win all their matches at home. However, a huge improvement is needed in the offense since the UAE have scored just four goals in six matches. Defensively the Whites are doing fine conceding less than one goal per game on average.
With players like Ismail Matar and Ali Mabkhout in the squad, Van Marwijk has all the experience he needs on the pitch. The Dutch coach needs to be more aggressive with his offensive tactics though.
Syria may be encouraged by the fact that they drew with the UAE in the first match. Moreover, the Eagles have a very good h2h record with their hosts winning one drawing one, and losing one of their last three games. However, Syria have two points from two draws in six matches.
Although mathematically coach Tita Valeriu’s team still has a chance to clinch third place in the group, this is a must-win game for the Syrians to keep their chances alive. On a positive note, Syria’s only two wins in their last five away games were against the UAE.
Hence we think it will be a match with high tension and both coaches will want to avoid losing in this match.
Safe Bet
In five of UAE’s last six matches, both teams didn’t score. In addition, in Syria’s two of their last five games btts didn’t happen. With odds of 1.69 for btts not to happen, we think it is a safe bet to back.
Quick Rich
Two of the last three h2h matches ended in draws. Both teams are aware of the fact that they can’t afford to lose this match. As a result, we predict for both coaches to adopt a cautious approach which may limit scoring chances. Hence we suggest backing a draw to gain a good profit as it has odds of 3.35.
UAE vs Syria Highlighted Player
Ali Mabkhout is one of the best strikers in the UAE at the moment. He has played 101 games with the senior UAE national team since 2009 and scored 79 goals. He is Vam Marvijk’s main man to get the UAE on the scoresheet.
