Kyrgyzstan vs UAE: 2026 World Cup Qualifier Prediction (10.06.2025)

On Tuesday, June 10, at 20:45 WIB, at the Dolon Omurzakov Stadium in Bishkek, the national team of Kyrgyzstan will host the United Arab Emirates in the final matchday of Group A in the third stage of the Asian qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup. In this six-team group, all positions have already been decided. The home side will remain in fifth place and are out of the qualification race. The visitors, meanwhile, will not drop below fourth, but cannot reach second place, and therefore advance to the fourth stage of continental qualification.

In the pre-match prediction for Kyrgyzstan – UAE, bookmakers overwhelmingly favor the visitors. Betting odds for a “Red and Gold” victory are 3.80, a draw is 3.75, and a win for the “White, Red, and Black” is 1.91. The total over 2.5 goals is priced at 1.85, suggesting a medium-scoring game. Odds for both teams to score are set at 1.75.

Kyrgyzstan

Maxim Lisitsyn’s team is unbeaten in their last two matches, which is already quite an achievement for their current lineup. At the end of March, the “Red and Gold” surprisingly defeated a motivated Qatar team 3-1 at home. Then, in early June, they managed a 2-2 away draw against North Korea, earning their first away point in this stage of qualification. At home, the team plays with slightly more confidence. Even in home losses to Iran and Uzbekistan, the Kyrgyz side put up a decent fight, narrowly losing both matches 2-3.

UAE

The core of Cosmin Olaroiu’s team is made up of players from Al-Wasl and Al-Jazira clubs. Ten years ago, the UAE experienced a football boom that saw them reach the semifinals of two consecutive Asian Cups. However, today the national team does not have the same potential, making it unlikely that they will qualify for the World Cup, even though they have advanced to the fourth stage of Asian qualifying.

Statistics and Head-to-Head

In 2023, the UAE defeated Kyrgyzstan 1-0 in a friendly match. Earlier in this World Cup 2026 qualification group, they beat Kyrgyzstan more convincingly 3-0 at home.

Prediction

Kyrgyzstan has scored eight goals in four home qualifiers and has never failed to find the net at home. Meanwhile, the UAE has not been very productive on the road but has only lost to the group’s top teams – Iran and Uzbekistan. Considering these trends, we predict that both teams will score, at odds of 1.75.
