Team Reviews
United Arab Emirates (UAE) are entering this International Friendly at a neutral venue, likely in Dubai, with confidence, sitting 61st in the FIFA rankings. Their recent form is strong, with three wins, one draw, and one loss in their last five matches, including a 2-1 victory over Iraq in a 2027 AFC Asian Cup qualifier, where Ali Mabkhout and Harib Abdalla scored. The UAE average 1.6 goals scored and 0.8 conceded per game, with a solid home record, unbeaten in their last four matches at home or neutral venues. Coach Paulo Bento’s 4-2-3-1 relies on Mabkhout’s finishing (85 international goals) and Caio Canedo’s creativity. No major injuries are reported, so the UAE will aim to dominate possession and exploit Syria’s defense with their attacking flair, backed by strong fan support.
Syria, ranked 92nd, are in decent shape, with two wins, two draws, and one loss in their last five matches, including a 1-0 win over Jordan in a World Cup qualifier. They average 1.2 goals scored and 0.8 conceded per game, but their away form is shaky, with no wins in their last three road games, including a 2-0 loss to Japan. Coach José Lana’s 4-4-2 depends on Omar Al-Somah’s aerial threat (20 international goals) and Mahmoud Al-Mawas’s work rate. Minor knocks to a defender may force adjustments, but Syria will look to stay compact and counter, though their lack of away goals could be a concern against the UAE’s organized setup.
Head to Head
The UAE and Syria have met 10 times since 2005, with the UAE winning five, Syria two, and three draws, per historical data. Their most recent clash was a 2-0 UAE victory on January 27, 2022, in a World Cup qualifier, with Caio Canedo scoring. At neutral or UAE-hosted venues, the UAE are unbeaten in their last three against Syria (two wins, one draw), including a 1-0 win in 2019. Matches average 2.2 goals, with both teams scoring in 30% of encounters, suggesting a tight contest. The UAE’s 3-2 win in a 2010 friendly and Syria’s 1-0 upset in 2008 show their competitiveness, but the UAE’s recent dominance gives them an edge.
Prediction
The UAE’s strong form, higher ranking, and historical edge make them favorites, especially on a neutral pitch with home-like support. I predict a 2-1 win for the UAE, with Mabkhout or Abdalla likely scoring, though Syria could nick a goal via Al-Somah on a set piece. The UAE’s win probability is around 65%, reflecting their attacking depth and Syria’s away struggles. Expect the UAE to edge possession (around 55%) and corners (7-9 projected), with Syria’s counters keeping it close. The game should see the UAE’s wingers test Syria’s flanks, building on their recent 2-1 Iraq win, for a narrow victory.
