[Football- AFC Asian Cup] 29.1/ 17:00 Qatar- Palestine

Qatar are the hosts, and defending champions. They have an interesting team, very fast and strong. They have not conceded a goal in their last three matches. They played excellently against China.

Palestine surprised me at this year's championship, they play with heart. But sometimes that's not enough to win. Qatar seems to me to be a better and more experienced team. They should take advantage of that.

Palestine started their last group match needing a result and other things to go their way (qualifying due to goal difference), but ended it with an emphatic 3-0 win over Hong Kong and by sealing a last-16 spot.

Palestine play direct football, which should leave them exposed to a counter attack. Qatar will probably win 1-0 or 2-1, and keep up the pressure continuously, trying to break Palestine's rhythm. Expect a goal from a corner.

There have been only 10 previous clashes between the sides, with Qatar winning on seven occasions and losing to Palestine just once.
Palestine's only-ever win over Qatar came in April 2002, sealing a 2-0 victory at the West Asian Games.
In their last seven international games, Qatar have won six times and lost just once.
Qatar and Thailand were the only sides that kept a clean sheet in all three group matches of the 2023 Asian Cup.
Qatar are ranked 58th in the world, whereas Palestine are ranked 99th.
Palestine have failed to score in their last four games against Qatar

It will take a miracle for Palestine to advance, and it should be an entertaining match. Best of luck if you're tailing, and lets hope we get an entertaining game of football!
