The Asian Cup is in full swing, the curtain of the knockout round is open, and the heroes are fighting each other. In the early morning of January 29, Beijing time, the United Arab Emirates and Tajikistan took the lead in the war.
Tajikistan achieved 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss in the group stage, surpassing the Chinese team by a narrow margin and advancing to the 1/8 finals. Tajikistan's core system, consisting of Soylov, Desalilov and Umabayev, has a strong impact. In the group stage, Tajikistan averaged 0.67 goals scored and conceded 0.67 goals per game, showing a relatively balanced offensive and defensive system. Although the ability to score goals is slightly lacking, the joint defense system is strong. This match will test the UAE's attacking prowess.
The UAE qualified for the round of 16 with one win, one draw and one defeat in the group stage, joining Iran. The team's core system consists of Saleh, Ramadan and Al-Ghasani, who have shown great fighting power in front of goal. The team contributed two assists and scored five goals in the group stage, averaging 1.67 goals per game, showing strong attacking power. However, the UAE have been underwhelming defensively, conceding an average of 1.33 goals per game, which has laid the groundwork for their future matches.
In this matchup, Tajikistan is likely to rely on its physical superiority to carry out air strikes, while the UAE is likely to attack more points with passing and cutting runs. Both sides are likely to break through each other's cities in this game, and the probability of a narrow victory by one goal advantage of the United Arab Emirates, which has a better ability to score goals, is not low.
At 19:30 Beijing time on January 29, Iraq and Jordan faced each other in two short battles. Jordan was lucky to reach the 1/8 finals with 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss in the group stage as the third place with the best result. Jordan play a 3-4-2-1 formation, led by Madi and Atamari, who can average two goals per game, and their strength should not be underestimated. Defensively, they only concede one goal per game, which is solid and reliable. In this campaign, Jordan encountered a strong enemy, Iraq, and faced great challenges.
Iraq are on a three-game winning streak in the group stage, with the core of Hussein and Jassim being very effective in front of goal. Iraq averaged 2.67 goals per game in the group stage, showing a strong attacking force, especially with Al-Hussein scoring five goals alone, making it difficult for opponents to defend. This game will test Jordan's defensive ability to resist attacks.
In this battle, both sides are likely to carry out saturation strikes with intolerable front-of-goal combat power, and there is a high probability that each other's cities will not be guaranteed. However, Iraq, which has a stronger ability to score goals, is expected to have the last laugh after a hard battle, and Iraq's 2-goal advantage in this game can be expected to defeat the opponent.
