The UAE national team comes to this match after a 1×5 victory over Jordan in a friendly to prepare for the next official matches: the team’s goals were scored by Ali Mabkhout (3), Caio and Khalil Ibrahim Al Hammadi. The main characteristic of the home team is its ability to attack through quick transitions. Ali Mabkhout is the player in charge of breaking the rival’s defense and is a strong finisher.

Malaysia comes to this match with little motivation after a 2-0 loss to Bahrain in a friendly to prepare for their next official matches. It is noteworthy that Malaysia is in second place in Group G for the 2022 World Cup. Defensively, the visiting team is a very aggressive side, leaving little room for the opposition. Furthermore, Malaysia is likely to prefer the right side runner to attack, taking advantage of the depth offered by Safawi Rasid. Regular players have been called up for this match.
