The UAE host Tajikistan at the Al Nahyan Stadium in Abu Dhabi on Saturday for an international friendly. The Sons of Zayed begin preparations for next year’s Asia Cup in Qatar, having qualified for the showpiece following a fabulous qualifying campaign. They won six of their eight games and finished atop Group G, ahead of Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia, while scoring a staggering 23 goals in the process.
The Middle Eastern side then came agonizingly close to qualifying for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, but lost 2-1 to Australia in the fourth round to see their wait for a first appearance in the competition since 1990 continue. Head coach Rodolfo Arruabarrena has named 25 players for their friendlies against Tajikistan and Thailand this month, including record goalscorer Ali Mabkhout, who has scored 80 goals for the side in 109 appearances

United Arab Emirates vs Tajikistan Prediction
The UAE have a decent squad but have flattered to deceive lately. Their strong attacking unit could still be a challenge for Tajikistan though. The Persian Lions, however, have a stoic defense and could hold them to a draw.
