Qatar vs Bahrain: Top Free Betting Tips

Following a victory, Qatar takes on Bahrain in the second round of the Gulf Cup of Nations on Tuesday, 10 January. The Pearl Divers have also registered a win in the opening game of the competition coming into this duel.

Match Result Prediction: Qatar to Win

The teams have won the previous duels but they have been following a long winless pattern before the last attempt. The Maroons had a terrible campaign at home in the World Cup but they had registered successive victories in Friendlies. However, Bahrain has been unable to record a victory in any of the recent friendly tests. The last meeting between the teams also witnessed Qatar on the winning side. So we back the Maroons to add three points at the end of this game.

Both Teams to Score Prediction: Yes

Qatar has lagged in the World Cup outings but they managed to find the target in three of the previous five attempts. Bahrain has also been consistent in this respect and rattled the net in four of the last five matches. Both teams have also leaked goals in at least three of the previous four duels.  Two of the last three H2H duels of these teams have featured BTTS patterns and we expect the same pattern to be witnessed in this game.

Correct Score Prediction: 2-1 to Qatar

The Maroons were able to keep a clean sheet in the last game and they had consecutive clean sheets before the mega event. However, Bahrain will be confident to breach the defence over the recent scoring string. But the Reds have offered a terrible defence recently and leaked ten goals in just the previous four outings. Qatar scored twice in the last duel and we expect them to confirm a 2-1 lead in this game.

Bahrain Preview

The Pearl Divers defeated the United Arab Emirates to end their winless pattern and earned the 2-1 lead in the last game. Bahrain also had consecutive victories in Asia Cup Qualifiers but they slowed down the momentum at the start of Friendlies in September. Helio Sousa will have an injury-free squad to make a selection for this game.
