IRQ vs UAE Dream11
Iraq and UAE will lock horns at the King Fahd Stadium in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on Thursday in a 2022 World Cup qualifier.
UAE will look to bounce back from their 1-0 defeat to Iran in their last outing. Meanwhile, the Lions of Mesopotamia are winless and second from bottom, with just five points. They must win here to keep their slim progression hopes alive.
A defeat would signal the end of their pursuit, so the pressure is on Abdul-Ghani Shahad’s side to go for all three points.
