vs Prediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

An international friendly with no table to lean on, so the recent outings count. Uzbekistan come in on five straight defeats: 1-3 at Congo DR last time out, before that 0-5 at Portugal, 1-3 against Colombia, 1-2 at Netherlands and 0-2 at Canada. In five games they have scored three goals and conceded 15. Syria have had a more mixed run: one win, two draws and two defeats. The last game was a 1-4 defeat at Belarus, before that a 5-1 win over Afghanistan, a 0-1 defeat at Morocco, a 0-0 draw against Palestine and a 1-1 draw against Qatar, for 7 goals scored and 7 conceded. In the five previous meetings Syria have won twice, Uzbekistan once, with two draws. The most recent, on 13 January 2024, ended 0-0; before that Syria won 1-0 away in November 2020, while in 2019 Uzbekistan won 2-0. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
