Nepal vs United Arab Emirates Betting Tips: BTTS - NO

One of the weakest nations on the Asian continent, and ranked 175th on the FIFA world rankings, it can be freely said that Nepal presented themselves as "the whipping boys" in this qualification campaign, having lost each of their first four matches with ease.

However, the poor results in the qualifiers should not come as a surprise, as the Gorkhalis were disastrous at both ends of the pitch, failing to muster a single goal in over 360 minutes of group stage action and shipping a staggering 14 goals in the process.

Not even a change on the touchline has brought any improvement in any aspect, as the Nepalese approach their midweek contest on a dismal run of six straight losses since they edged past Laos 2-1 on aggregate to qualify for the second round of Asian qualifiers.

The hapless Vincenzo's troops could remain scoreless and pointless as they face the dominant group leaders, the United Arab Emirates, who have sealed their spot in the third round of qualifiers with four games to spare, having collected a perfect 12 points thus far.

Before their double thrashing of Yemen in the March qualifiers, the Sons of Zayed experienced a disappointing exit from the 2023 Asian Cup in the round of 16 against Tajikistan via penalties earlier this year, but they will be confident in their ability to finish the group stage with a 100% record.

Paulo Bento's squad has been nearly impenetrable, conceding just once in their first four qualifying matches, as they aim for their fourth shutout victory of the campaign against a toothless opponent, also drawing confidence from their 4-0 hammering of Nepal in the initial encounter. The gap in guality between the two nations is like heaven and earth, so we expect UAE to confirm that on the field.
