Uzbekistan’s World Cup qualification hopes are dealt with a blow after the 1-0 defeat away at Syria. They were in control of the match for longer periods, but a cheap penalty in the dying seconds cost them a vital point. Uzbekistan remain at third position in Group B, but Syria have now moved closer to them at a point distance.
The defeat at Syria is Uzbekistan’s second loss in a row after having picked 3 wins and a draw from the first four matches.
Qatar were pushed to the rock bottom of the group after the 1-0 home loss to Iran. They have four points to their name, which means they will be out of the qualification race if they drop points against the Uzbeks on Tuesday.

Uzbekistan vs Qatar: Head-to-head
Uzbekistan have a good h2h record against Qatar after having won in 8 of the 12 meetings so far, while they drew once and lost in 3.
The record in the World Cup Qualifiers is even better as they have a 100% win record in the three home matches. Meanwhile, the overall record in the qualifiers is 5 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss from 7 matches.
The reverse leg of the corresponding fixture at Qatar was a 1-0 win for Uzbekistan.
Uzbekistan vs Qatar: Prediction
We can expect another neat defensive display from Uzbekistan and they are very likely to keep another clean sheet here. On the other hand, Qatar are a side in tatters and will be lacking the confidence to break a stubborn team.
We recommend to go for a home win in this fixture, with brave punters can choose the option of home win with a clean sheet. Meanwhile, under 2.5 goals seems another good option, backing on Uzbeks good defensive record and Qatar’s poor scoring form.
