China vs Uzbekistan predictions and top betting tips

Uzbekistan make the just shy of 10,000km journey to Dalian, China in an International Friendly match.

Both teams to score prediction: Yes

For our first prediction, we at Football Ground Guide predict that both of these nations will find the back of the net. China have failed to score just once in their previous six international matches, a 1-0 defeat to Syria while Uzbekistan have failed to score twice in their previous eight matches, a 1-0 defeat to Iran and then a 3-0 defeat to USA. Going through the head-to-head record, three of the previous seven matches has seen both nations hit the back of the net.

Total match goals prediction: Over 2.5 Goals

For our second prediction, we at Football Ground Guide predict that the total number of goals in this encounter will be 2.5 goals or more. Going through the recent form for both nations, two of Uzbekistan's recent five matches has seen 2.5 goals scored or less with two of those that have seen 2.5 or more being a shock 3-3 draw with Mexico and a 5-1 win against Tajikistan. China's recent matches has seen less goals than Uzbekistan's but we still believe that 2.5 goals or more will be scored.

Correct score prediction: 2-1 to Uzbekistan

For our third and final prediction, we at Football Ground Guide predict that Uzbekistan will make the 10,000km journey back home having won away in China. Uzbekistan in our opinion do have a stronger squad than China do which shows in their recent results with a narrow defeat to one of Asia's best sides Iran and then a 3-3 draw with Mexico. China have not been tested as much recently with all of China's recent eight matches coming against nations below them according to the FIFA World Rankings.
