We said: United Arab Emirates 2-0 Yemen

This should be another comfortable victory for UAE, who will be disappointed if they can not continue their run of clean sheets, let alone wins. Yemen are no pushovers but they are unlikely to carry enough offensive threat to hurt UAE in key moments, so we are predicting a 2-0 victory for the hosts, who would take a giant step towards the third round of qualifying in the process.
