Qatar Ready For Dogged UAE Struggle

Qatar Look To Continue Run

Qatar will certainly deal with a difficult challenge when they face the United Arab Emirates in the semi-finals of the Gulf Cup on Monday. A 1-0 win over Iraq in the quarter-finals scheduled Qatar up with a clash versus their familiar opponents.

The two sides have currently met twice in the competition, with Qatar winning 2-0 in the group stages. However, the UAE will be seeking revenge after losing 4-0 to Qatar in the final of the 2019 Gulf Cup.

UAE Seeking to Finish Qatar's Run

The UAE will be led by Ali Mabkhout, who is the all-time top scorer in the Gulf Cup with 23 goals. He will be supported by Omar Abdulrahman, who is one of the most gifted players in Asia.

Qatar will certainly be led by Akram Afif, that was the player of the suit in the 2019 Gulf Cup. He will certainly be supported by Almoez Ali, who is just one objective away from ending up being the all-time leading scorer for Qatar.

Anticipating A Close Game

The match is expected to be a close one, with both sides matched on paper. Qatar will have the benefit of playing at home, but the UAE will be determined to cause an upset.

The winner of the match will certainly advance to the final of the Gulf Cup, where they will face either Bahrain or Oman.
