India vs United Arab Emirates Prediction & Betting tips
At the Asian Cup 2019 the first decisions are in the preliminary round on the program. The first tickets for the round of 16 will be solved on matchday two. In Group A India has good chances to qualify early for the knockout round. The opponent in the second match will be the host from the United Arab Emirates. The pressure is clearly on the side of the home side, as a glance at the table reveals.
The Indians are at the top of the ranking after their great 4-1 victory on matchday one. The Emirates, on the other hand, did not manage a 1-1 draw in the opening game against Bahrain, which was very happy with the bottom line. So both are in second place with a draw behind the Indians. Thailand is already facing the wall after beating India 1-1. With the four best group-thirds coming one round further, India should already be drawing a draw on Thursday to move into the knockout stages. Therefore, in the duel between India and the United Arab Emirates a tip on the double chance 1X might not be a bad choice. The hosts will not be satisfied with that. Only one victory would prevent a showdown on the final day against Thailand. Therefore, UAE will put everything on the map victory, with the team of Alberto Zaccheroni must be careful not to concede a bankruptcy, because then threatens the Emirates already in the preliminary round, the premature end. The hosts are traded against India as a clear favorite, with the previous games rather speak a different language. Before the kick-off between India and the United Arab Emirates, odds of up to 13.00 are offered on a victory of the Indians. Since the bookmakers lean, from our point of view, very far out of the window. The kick-off for the group match at the Asia Cup 2019 between India and the Emirates in the Sheikh Zayed Sports City of Abu Dhabi will take place on 10.01.2019 at 16:00.
India :
The Indian Super League has always been laughed at a little, because there were many dumped stars in the late autumn of their careers once again big box office. At the Asian Cup, however, it becomes clear that development aid is now bearing fruit for the Indian players. Many Indians have fought for regular places in the ISL and made a big leap in quality. Nevertheless, the Bhangra Boys started as big outsiders in this Asian championship. Also in the match between India and the United Arab Emirates, high odds are offered for a victory of the Indians, but perhaps this will change in the course of the tournament. However, we also have to leave the church a bit in the village, because India succeeded on the first matchday against Thailand the first victory in the Asian Cup since 1964. Now it will not take another 55 years until the next three is retracted. At home one is currently full of praise for the own team.
The Indian media claim that the second half against Thailand was probably the best 45 minutes of an Indian national team in decades. Before the break Sunil Chhetri brought his team on penalties first in the lead, but Thailand could equalize shortly thereafter. In the second section, it was Sunil Chhetri, Anirudh Thapa and Jeje Lalpekhlua who raised the result to 4: 1.
This victory has given the Indians great confidence. Although English coach Stephen Constantine knows that the match against the hosts will be much harder, he sees only the next stone in the Emirates, which must be cleared out of the way. Maybe you have to keep an eye on the Indians at this Asian Cup. Before the game between India and the United Arab Emirates, the forecast is not bold that we will probably see the Bhangra Boys in the second round. Maybe the entry into the playoffs is already dry after this second matchday.
United Arab Emirates :
The hosts have imagined the start of the Asian Cup in a different way. Similar to Russia at the 2018 World Cup, the Emirates, as organizers, have been awarded a very viable group. For all the big teams, the Arabs have gone out of their way for the moment and yet, after just one game, it is clear that the way to the round of 16 will be rockier than you might have thought. Although the Emirates have not lost in three games, but in the opening game against Bahrain was a threesome scheduled. Although there is still calm at the host of the 2019 Asian Cup, and there is still talk of the Emirates advancing far into the tournament, the first doubts are behind the scenes. The pressure before the second matchday weighs heavily on the shoulders of the Arabs, although in the match between India and the United Arab Emirates, the forecast of the bookmaker suggests a host victory.
But that was also the case before the opening match against Bahrain, where Alberto Zaccheroni’s team was just able to pull their head out of the noose thanks to a very late Joker goal. In a largely balanced game, Bahrain opened the scoring 1-0 with a quarter of an hour to go. Only two minutes before the final whistle substitute Ahmed Khalil was able to compensate by penalty. Thus, the attacker is on Thursday against India also an option to a place in the starting eleven. Khamis Esmaeel has disappointed overall, which is why he is now threatened with a place on the bench. Otherwise, the national media rather expect no change in the starting lineup, but hope especially in Ali Mabkhout and Khalfan Mubarak Al Jazeera on a performance increase. Both have made a great series in the UAE Gulf League and should also be able to make the difference on an international level. That would be very important on Thursday against India to avoid a final against Thailand.
