Iraq vs UAE: Top Free Betting Tips

Iran and South Korea have already qualified for the World Cup but there are three more teams in the fight for the third place, which guarantees participation in the fourth stage. Iraq and UAE are two of those teams and this match will decide Iraq's fate.

Both Teams To Score – Yes

Iraq and UAE have played a lot of games between each other in recent years and most of them had few goals. In fact, five of six had less than 2.5 goals. At the same time, the last fixture from this qualification ended in a 2:2 draw. Since this is a crucial game for both teams, we expect to see goals from both teams. We expect at least 1:1 here even if the match ends with under 2.5 goals.

Double Chance – Draw or United Arab Emirates

Both teams have not performed great in this third stage of the qualifications but UAE have generally been much better. Iraq are one of two teams in this group that remain without a win. They also had five draws. UAE have been much better and won two games and had three draws. While this match is equally important for both sides, UAE are the better team and we expect them to get at least a point from this fixture.

Alternative Corners – Under 10

We rarely see a lot of corners in the matches of Asian national teams. We often rarely see a lot of goals but that is a different thing. UAE have not had a lot of corners in their games – all six most recent matches had 10 or less. We expect this to be a difficult game for both teams and we expect some solid defensive efforts.
