Bisnis.com, JAKARTA – Uzbekistan National Team will be challenged by the Thai National Team in the round of 16 2023 Asian Cup at Venue Al Janoub Stadium, Tuesday (30/1/2024) afternoon.
Uzbekistan qualified for the round of 16 2023 Asian Cup after finishing runner up in Group B behind Australia. Srecko Katanec’s men performed well by going undefeated in the Group B phase. Uzbekistan were even able to hold Australia to a 1-1 draw in the last match.
The results against Australia are valuable capital for Uzbekistan in navigating the 2023 Asian Cup. This score proves that the White Wolf Team has equal strength with the other favorite teams to win.
The Thai national team must be wary of Uzbekistan, which has a strong attack and defense line. Uzbekistan has scored four goals and conceded only once in the 2023 Asian Cup group stage.
Thailand’s coach, Masatada Ishii must understand the strength of Uzbekistan, who is currently ranked 68th in the world.
In order to anticipate Uzbekistan’s attack line, it is predicted that the Japanese coach will not change the composition of his defenders who have been solid since the group stage.
If Uzbekistan is able to hold Australia to a draw, Thailand also has strong capital by playing a 0-0 draw against Saudi Arabia in the final match of Group F of the 2023 Asian Cup.
The Uzbekistan vs Thailand match in the round of 16 of the 2023 Asian Cup is predicted to be interesting because the teams’ strengths are not much different.
