United Arab Emirates vs Australia Prediction: Socceroos will be the 31st participant in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar

On 7 June 2022, the United Arab Emirates will face Australia in Qatar's Ahmed Bin Ali Stadium. We'll show you the form of the teams and tell you what to bet on. Here are some betting options!

United Arab Emirates

The UAE is a national team that has only made it to the World Cup finals once in its history. That was in 1990, when they played in the group stage, finishing 24th overall. The United Arab Emirates has reached the semi-finals in the last two Asian Cups and even won third place on one of those occasions. Now, the Red and Black have a chance to reach the World Cup final, but they need to beat Australia in the knockout stages to do so.

Australia

Australia has become a regular competitor in the 21st century, having qualified for four previous world championships in a row. They have only made the playoffs once in the 2006 World Cup. Graeme Arnold's men were denied the top two places in the World Cup 2022 qualifiers early on that would have earned them a direct ticket to Qatar, but they snatched the third spot and now face the UAE.

Expert Betting Tips

The UAE and Australia finished third in their qualifying groups for the 2022 World Cup, so they will now go head-to-head in Qatar. The home team has tremendous experience playing these high-profile matches as they have qualified for the last four World Cups. We suggest betting on Australia's win for 1.755.

The UAE and Australia have met six times in their history and have combined for only six goals (1.00 goals per game average). We are unlikely to see many scoring miracles in the next game because the price of any mistake is too high, and the trip to the 2022 World Cup is at stake. On this basis, we suggest betting on a total under (2) for 2.

Australia's main attacking hopes should be linked with Jamie Maclaren, who has scored seven goals in nine games in the current World Cup qualifiers. Such a solid performance of the forward in games for the national team should not confuse anyone, as for Melbourne City's club in the three previous seasons in 76 games. He scored 64 goals (0.84 average per game). The 28-year-old is obviously in good form, so we suggest betting on Jamie Maclaren's goal for 2.50.
