Qatar vs Uzbekistan prediction and betting tips on November 14, 2024
Game Prediction
On November 14, 2024, Qatar and Uzbekistan will clash in the 5th round of the Asian World Cup qualifiers. A win for Uzbekistan could solidify their position among the group leaders, putting distance between them and a key rival.
Prediction for Qatar vs Uzbekistan
The "White Wolves" performed solidly in the Asian Cup last winter, advancing from the group stage with five points and defeating Thailand in the Round of 16. However, they faced Qatar in the quarterfinals, and after a 1-1 draw in regular time, they lost on penalties. Qatar ultimately went on to win the tournament and defend their title.
Since then, Bartolome Marquez's squad has faced challenges. They lost their first autumn qualification match at home to the UAE (1-3), managed only a draw with North Korea, and despite beating Kyrgyzstan, they fell 1-4 to Iran. There were talks of replacing Marquez with Xavi, though Xavi has stated he wants to rest until 2025.
Shomurodov and his teammates have only failed to beat Iran this year, ending that game in a goalless draw. However, they secured narrow wins against other opponents: 1-0 over North Korea and the UAE, and a 3-2 victory over Kyrgyzstan.
