Qatar vs United Arab Emirates prediction 14.10.2025 | World Cup qualifications

Qatar invest a lot in football in the last few decades, but their only apperance at the World Cup was in 2022 when they were hosts. Qatar didn't play well in the previous phase of the qualifications, but they still qualify for the upcoming tournament if they win on Tuesday against the United Arab Emirates.

Qatar didn't play well lately as they are without a victory in the last four matches. In the previous game, Qatar played 0-0 against Oman. Julen Lopetegui's team dominated in that match as they ended with xG of 1.32, while Oman had only 0.17, but that was not enough for Qatar to secure an important victory.

Qatar failed to win against Oman, but the head coach, Julen Lopetegui, was satisfied with the team's dominance throughout the game. He said, "We were the better team, had more control and possession of the ball, and created many chances. I think we deserved to win, given the significant advantage we had throughout the match."

Akram Afif and Boualem Khoukhi suffered injuries against Oman and are questionable to play on Tuesday against the United Arab Emirates.

The United Arab Emirates will book their first World Cup appearance on Tuesday night if they avoid defeat against Qatar. The United Arab Emirates played well in the recent months as they are undefeated in the last seven matches, including friendlies. In the most most recent outing, Cosmin Olaroiu's team won 2-1 against Oman. The teams were pretty even, but the United Arab Emirates' much better efficiency was enough for victory.

The United Emirates' head coach, Cosmin Olaroiu, was very satisfied after the game against Oman. He said, "We played two halves with different personalities, but we did everything necessary to win the match. Now we have the decisive match against Qatar."
