Palestine hosts Uzbekistan in round 1 of the second stage of the World Cup qualification. The match will be played on Thursday, September 5th at Faisal Al-Husseini International Stadium (Al-Ram)
The Palestinian national team has progressed very much in recent years. In 2015, the team first made it to the final stage of the Asian Cup. This year it repeated this success. But Palestine never left the group. Oddly enough, the team has a sufficient number of legionnaires. The truth is they play in Egypt, Chile, American MLS... Truth be told, there is one “European” in Swedish Landskorn – goalkeeper Kadura. So, the qualifications of these players may be slightly higher than those of the aborigines, and it is enough for them to beat Syria at home or even Yemen in the last away match, but it will certainly not be enough for more qualified Uzbekistan.

In my opinion, the coefficient for Uzbekistan in the upcoming match is very high. The team won all 3 head-to-head matches with Palestine and did not concede a single ball in them. In the last 2 matches, the Uzbeks beat North Korea and Syria. And again, without goals conceded. Most of the team's players represent local Pakhtakor and Lokomotiv. But there are several legionnaires. It is worth singling out Akhmedov, who scored 3 goals for Shanghai in 12 games. And previously, he defended the colors of Anji and Krasnodar. And don’t forget about Shomurodov. He has already scored 7 goals in 8 games for Rostov. By the way, he is the best scorer in the Russian championship now.
Along with Saudi Arabia, the Uzbeks are favorites in their group. And they are quite capable of earning the first 3 points in the World Cup qualifiers, despite the away status of the match. Their squad is more powerful and coordinated. And the presence of an experienced Argentinean coach Hector Cuper, who coached Parma, Inter, Valencia, and the national teams of Egypt and Argentina, only increases the chances of Uzbekistan to win the upcoming match.
Prediction for the match: Uzbekistan to win
