UAE Saudi Arabia betting prediction

The away team plays its first friendly match of the year, after having played 7 friendlies last year, with the following final scores in the last 5: UAE (2‑0) Yemen, UAE (0‑0) Bolivia, UAE (0‑2) Venezuela, UAE (1‑1) Honduras and UAE (3‑0) Laos. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses in away matches, with 6 goals scored and 21 conceded; against 6 wins, 6 draws and 3 losses at their stadium, with 18 goals scored and 11 conceded. In their last match, for the Asian Cup, they got an away loss against Qatar by (4‑0). In the last 10 away matches UAE has won 3, tied 2 and lost 5. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches. In their away matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 6 of the last 12 matches have ended with Under 1,5 goals and 10 out of 12 have ended with Under 2,5 goals. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 4 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

The Saudis arrive for this game with a 1-0 defeat to Japan, in a match to count for the first knockout round of the Asian Cup. In the last friendly game, Saudi Arabia won a positive draw against South Korea. In this game coach Juan Antonio Pizzi should play in the 4-3-3 with Fahad Al-Muwallad being the most advanced man on the team. Yet we caution that Saudi Arabia present several gaps in both defense and attack. For this game the manager counts on his usual players.

Confirmed Lineup: Mustafa Malayekah, Ali Abdullah Hazzazi, Abdullah Al Shamekh, Mohammed Al-Khabrani, Ziyad Al Sahafi, Naif Hazazi, Madallah Alolayan, Hassan Al-Habib, Ahmed Zain, Mansor Hamzi, Abdulfattah Mohamed Adam.
