United Arab Emirates have their eyes set on topping Group A of the 2019 Asian Cup after two unconvincing displays in the tournament so far. A draw against Bahrain was followed by a 2-0 win versus India in a game that the Men in Blue created more in terms of chances. Head coach Alberto Zaccheroni will want his side to finally deliver a convincing performance in front of home supporters when they take on Thailand who have given themselves a real chance of making it to the next round with a win against Bahrain. AFC Asian Cup 2019 Points Table: Latest Group-Wise Team Standings of 17th Edition of Men’s Football Championship Tournament of Asia.

The sacking of manager Milovan Rajevac had a positive impact on the Thai boys as a massively changed team came up with a 1-0 win in the second game. Now, interim boss, Sirisak Yodyardthai must find a way against the hosts as they trail India in second by goal difference. Key man for Thailand is J League star Chanathip Songkrasin who was brilliant against Bahrain. The man dubbed as the Thai Messi has a weight of expectation of an entire nation resting on his shoulders but has every quality to succeed. Teerasil Daangda in the lone striker role has a tough task at hand against the physically dominated UAE defence but his pace can cause trouble on the counter.

UAE football team showed great team spirit against India were despite finding itself under siege on several occasion, it still managed to come up with all 3 points. But Thailand’s pace and good goalscoring record means they cannot be taken for granted. Defender Hassan Saleh and Mohamed Ahmed know all too well that they will need to be alert at all times and avoid unnecessary panic at the back against The Elephants. Striker Ali Mabkhout has looked good in both the game so far in the tournament and would love to end group stage on a high. UAE are capable of getting the three points but a desperate Thailand will not make it easy for them. It will not be a goal fest but a close contest which the home side will drive home as winners. AFC Asian Cup 2019 Schedule in PDF: Download Asia Cup Football Full Timetable in IST With Fixtures, Matches, Team and Venue Details.
