Saudi Arabia – Yemen. Prediction for the match of the Cup of Nations of the Persian Gulf

On December 25, the Sulaybikhat Stadium will host a match of the 2nd round of the Cup of Nations of the Persian Gulf, in which the national team of Saudi Arabia will meet with the national team of Yemen. The match will start at 16:25 Kyiv time.

Saudi Arabia

The national team bet on Roberto Mancini. As a result, it failed completely. At the Asian Cup in winter, the Green Falcons confidently left the group, but in the first round of the playoffs, they drew with South Korea and lost on penalties. After that, the team, it seems, simply swam, together with the Italian mentor. After the victory over China in the selection for the World Cup, in October, a defeat at home to Japan and a goalless draw with Bahrain followed. After this, the Saudis replaced Manchini with Renard. But Hervé also started poorly – well, 0:0 on the field of Australia, this is a good result, but it is crossed out by a shocking 0:2 with Indonesia. At the current tournament with Bahrain, it was also not possible to really show itself. Yes, they tried and scored a couple of goals. That’s only what is the meaning of this, if you missed the ball more?

Yemen

The team is extremely modest even by the standards of this continent. Suffice it to say that she debuted at the Asian Cup only in 2019, and that was to lose all three matches with a total score of 0:10. And the red and white team did not make it to the next tournament. Moreover, nothing happened in the qualification for the world championships. This time it all ended with the five points scored in the previous round, with 4 taken from the second outsider, Nepal. It remains to play friendly matches, too weakly, and try to pass the group round of the Cup of Nations of the Persian Gulf at least now. They started there with a match against Iraq and, holding a draw for quite a long time, still conceded a goal and lost.

Statistics of personal meetings

In 13 head-to-head matches, the Green Falcons allowed this opponent to draw only once, in 2019.

Forecast

Bookmakers believe that the Falcons will finally win – any other outcome will make it difficult to get to the playoffs. We bet on nominal hosts with a handicap of -1.5 goals (coefficient – 1.6).
