The young Turkmen are perhaps the biggest surprise of this championship. After 2 rounds in the group with Iran, Uzbekistan and Qatar, they take a high second place and it can be said that no one expected that. In the first round, they lost to their neighbours from Uzbekistan, while in the second game, they defeated the favoured Iran 2-1. After the controversial first half, in which a penalty was played for Turkmenistan, and a penalty was played for Iran, which was annulled after watching the VAR, Turkmenistan used the red card that Iran received in the second half and managed to win somehow in the end. Caryew scored a fantastic goal in the second half and brought his team a very important victory. Qatar, unlike Turkmenistan, played a disastrous championship, in the first game they drew against Iran 1-1, although Iran was a much better team almost the whole game, and after that, they experienced a real humiliation from Uzbekistan, they lost 6-0 and it is a great defeat for the nation that will host the World Cup. Qatar is the favourite to win today and I think they might win this game but I don't believe it will be an easy job for them, so +1.5 on Turkmenistan looks like a great bet. There is no doubt that Turkmenistan will defend most of the match and will wait for a chance from the counter-attack.

My prediction;

Outcome: Turkmenistan +1.5

Goals: under 2.5

年轻的土库曼人可能是本届锦标赛最大的惊喜。在与伊朗、乌兹别克斯坦和卡塔尔进行了两轮小组赛后，他们获得了第二名，可以说这是没有人预料到的。在第一轮比赛中，他们输给了邻国乌兹别克斯坦，而在第二轮比赛中，他们以2比1击败了他们最喜欢的伊朗。在充满争议的上半场，土库曼斯坦罚了一个点球，伊朗也罚了一个点球，但在观看VAR后被取消。下半场，土库曼斯坦使用了伊朗得到的红牌，最终取得了胜利。卡尤在下半场打进一球，为他的球队带来了一场非常重要的胜利。卡塔尔、与土库曼斯坦,扮演了一个灾难性的冠军,在第一场比赛他们对伊朗1 - 1,虽然伊朗是一个更好的团队几乎整个游戏,在那之后,他们经历了一个真正的耻辱来自乌兹别克斯坦,他们失去了6 - 0,这是一个伟大的失败的国家将主办世界杯。卡塔尔是今天夺冠的热门，我认为他们可能会赢得这场比赛，但我不相信这对他们来说是一件容易的事情，所以+1.5土库曼斯坦看起来是一个很好的赌注。毫无疑问，土库曼斯坦将在比赛的大部分时间里防守，并将在反击中等待机会。
