As part of one of the matches of the group stage of the Arab Nations Cup, the players of the Qatar and Bahrain national teams will come face to face. On whose side will the victory be in this duel? Our sports portal gives a forecast for this game.
Qatar
Qatar is preparing to host the World Cup, but for now this national team is actively playing friendly matches, where it looks, frankly, very mediocre. Since September 2021, the Qatari national team has managed to hold 7 friendly matches, where, by the way, it could not win a single victory. After defeats in the match with Portugal, Ireland and Serbia, the Azerbaijanis were able to draw with Azerbaijan (2:2).
Bahrain
The Bahrain national team will not play at the World Cup, as the guest team took the third place in the Asian selection group, which left the guest team without a tournament. After that, Bahrain played differently. After the victory over Curacao, this team lost to New Zealand, but was able to defeat Kyrgyzstan in the last match. Bahrain is expected to perform well at the tournament, but it will not be easy to reach the playoffs.
Statistics and figures:
- Qatar is the favorite of the meeting;
- Qataris do not know victories in 8 matches;
- Bahrain won 3 of the previous 5 meetings;
- The last face-to-face meeting of the rivals ended with a score of 1:1.
Forecast
I think that Qatar can overcome its opponent. The hosts will be able to break the series without victories and will please their fans with a decent result. Our bet will be in favor of the Qatari team.
