Tips for match Qatar — Uzbekistan
The last semi-finalist of the Asian Cup will be determined in the match between the national teams of Qatar and Uzbekistan on February 3rd. Both teams are not favorites to win the tournament, but they can safely be called strong middle peasants in their region. I expect to see an equal game in the last quarter of the Asian Cup final.
Qatar, the reigning Asian Cup winners, have shown impressive form in the ongoing tournament. Under the leadership of Tintin Marquez, the team won three confident victories in the group stage over the teams of Lebanon (1:0), Tajikistan (1:0) and China (1:0). In the playoffs, Qatar also dealt with their opponents from Palestine, winning with a score of 2:1. However, the last match was not easy for the Qatari team. They were behind in the score, exposed to a sharper attack from the opponent. However, thanks to the slackness of the enemy in the middle of the match, Qatar was able to achieve a strong-willed and tense victory.
Uzbekistan, despite the absence of its captain Eldor Shomurodov, shows excellent results. At the group stage, they defeated India (3:0), drew with Syria (0:0) and Australia (1:1), then defeated Thailand in the 1/8 finals (2:1). The disqualification of defender Abdukodir Khusanov after the battle with the Thais will be a loss for the Uzbek team in the upcoming quarterfinals. Interesting pre-match facts include Qatar's 11 consecutive wins in Asian Cup finals and Uzbekistan's unbeaten streak in their last 11 matches. However, in head-to-head matches, Uzbekistan has an advantage, with 10 wins against Qatar's 3 wins and one draw.
Forecast for the match Qatar - Uzbekistan, Asian Cup: Handicap 1 (0), odds 1.7.
