Uzbekistan enters the 2024 AFC Asian Cup quarterfinal unbeaten in eleven consecutive matches, setting the stage for a challenging encounter with hosts Qatar. While Qatar secured a 2-1 win over Palestine in the last 16, their performance didn't shine as brightly, with Uzbekistan posing a tougher challenge.

In the group stage, Uzbekistan claimed second place in Group B with one win and two draws, notably demolishing India 3-0. In the round of 16, they defeated Thailand 2-1, extending their unbeaten streak to eleven matches under Slovenian manager Srecko Katanec.

Recent history favors Uzbekistan, as they have won seven and drawn one of the previous eight clashes with Qatar. The last meeting occurred over five years ago, resulting in a 2-0 friendly win for Uzbekistan. Notably, the last three head-to-head encounters between these teams haven't seen three or more goals.

Qatar, with four wins so far in the tournament, showcased notable performances from Akram Afif, Hassan Al Haydos, and Almoez Ali. Afif scored in all four outings, contributing to Qatar's strong presence in the competition.

While Qatar has been defensively solid in the tournament, facing opponents like Lebanon, Tajikistan, China, and Palestine, Uzbekistan's resilience, especially demonstrated in their draw against Australia, suggests a formidable challenge. I believe Qatar will go all the way in this clash and that they will at least stay unbeaten, despite Uzbekistan being a slight favorite!

乌兹别克斯坦连续11场不败进入2024年亚洲杯四分之一决赛，这为东道主卡塔尔的挑战奠定了基础。虽然卡塔尔在16强中以2比1战胜巴勒斯坦，但他们的表现并没有那么亮眼，乌兹别克斯坦构成了更严峻的挑战。

在小组赛中，乌兹别克斯坦以1胜2平的成绩获得B组第二名，特别是以3比0击败印度队。在16强比赛中，他们以2比1击败了泰国，在斯洛文尼亚主教练斯雷科·卡塔内克的带领下，他们的不败纪录延长到了11场。

最近的历史有利于乌兹别克斯坦，因为他们在与卡塔尔的8次交锋中取得了7胜1平的成绩。上一次相遇是在五年前，乌兹别克斯坦在友谊赛中以2:0取胜。值得注意的是，这两支球队最近三次正面交锋都没有进球超过3个。

到目前为止，卡塔尔在比赛中取得了四场胜利，阿克拉姆·阿菲夫、哈桑·阿尔·海多斯和阿尔莫兹·阿里的表现引人注目。阿菲夫在所有四场比赛中都取得了进球，为卡塔尔在比赛中的强势表现做出了贡献。

虽然卡塔尔在本届世界杯中防守稳固，面对的对手包括黎巴嫩、塔吉克斯坦、中国和巴勒斯坦，但乌兹别克斯坦的韧性，尤其是在与澳大利亚的平局中表现出来的韧性，表明了一个艰巨的挑战。我相信卡塔尔会在这场比赛中一路走下去，他们至少会保持不败，尽管乌兹别克斯坦是一个小小的热门!
