UAE vs Uzbekistan Prediction, 11:00 p.m. June 5: Judgment Day

TPO - Football commentary UAE vs Uzbekistan, 2026 World Cup qualifiers - Team information, expected lineup, form, history of confrontation. After Iran officially won the ticket to the next round, the remaining ticket to the 2026 World Cup in Group A is a direct competition between Uzbekistan and UAE. The gap between the two teams is 4 points and it can be decided after the direct confrontation between these two names tonight.

Predictions before the match UAE vs Uzbekistan

Uzbekistan are currently second with four points ahead of UAE. A draw or a win would see them secure a place in the finals, making history by making their first appearance at a World Cup. If they lose, they would still have the advantage. In that case, Uzbekistan would be one point ahead of UAE and everything would be decided in the final match.

Of course, with the home advantage, UAE understands that this is their last chance to find a direct ticket to the final round instead of facing the risk in the 4th qualifying round, when out of 6 teams, only 2 will go to the US, Canada and Mexico. But it must be admitted that in terms of playing style and personnel, Uzbekistan still has more chances to win.

The Central Asian team is emerging as a formidable name. In addition to the long-established technical foundation, they are gradually improving their physical strength. This helps them compete on equal terms with the average football teams in the world .

The players of this team have also reached European level. Abbosbek Fayzullaev plays in Russia, Azizbek Turgunboev in Türkiye, Eldor Shomurodov in Italy and especially Abdukodir Khusanov is playing for Man City...

Form, head to head record UAE vs Uzbekistan

On the past journey, Uzbekistan knows how to gain points against direct opponents. They held Iran to a draw and beat UAE. On the contrary, UAE almost lost points against direct opponents. This team lost both matches against Iran, and lost in the first leg against Uzbekistan. They even failed to win in the match against North Korea. That is the reason why UAE is in such a disadvantageous situation now.

The country's football federation has expressed disappointment with the team's performance. That's why during the qualifying round, they changed 2 head coaches. Paulo Bento just lost his job after the March matches. Today is the match of a new name on the coaching bench. This coach has high expectations but in reality, his players find it difficult to play well with the new football philosophy.

In terms of form, UAE is only better than the two eliminated teams Kyrgyzstan and North Korea. Meanwhile, Uzbekistan has performed very well when playing away. Except for the loss to Qatar, Uzbekistan has been unbeaten in all of their recent away trips in the World Cup qualifiers. On UAE soil, they have also won 2/4 of their recent matches.

An erratic name like UAE will probably have to surrender to Uzbekistan. Remember, in the same period of the last 4 matches, if Uzbekistan did not lose any match with 3 of them being victories, UAE lost 2 matches. It is very likely that the same thing will happen tonight, bringing a historic milestone for Uzbekistan football.

Expected lineup UAE vs Uzbekistan

UAE: Da Silva; Fabricio, Ferreira, Galinho, Fonte, Guerra, Leonardo, Morais, Silva, Soares, Vasco.

Uzbekistan: Mazzil; Baldini, Biondini, Cioffi, Landi, Mandirola, Okon-Engstler, Paonessa, Perillo, Pirola, Rocchetti.

Score prediction: UAE 1-2 Uzbekistan
