Today's results
These were the results today in the Asian qualifiers:
Australia 0-2 Japan
South Korea 2-0 Iran
Lebanon 0-3 Syria
Vietnam 0-1 Oman
China 0-1 Saudi Arabia, second half.
Very complicated
However, Iraq has not been able to win in this phase, recording five draws and three defeats, a situation they will try to change on Thursday.
With the possibility
Although neither of these two teams will be able to advance directly to the World Cup, both can still advance to re-qualification and a win on Thursday will be vital to their aspirations, where they would be facing the third place team in the other sector, Australia.

Key player United Arab Emirates
Born in Brazil, but naturalized UAE national, Caio Canedo brings that spark of unbalanced play in the final third of the field to his nation, plus he has a good mid-range strike that could be the key to taking the game.
Key player Iraq
Ahmad Ibrahim is one of the leaders in the defense, but he also has a great explosiveness in the air and he proved it with a goal in the last game where they defeated in a friendly match 3-1 against Zambia.

United Arab Emirates: good finish
With two wins in their last three games, the United Arab Emirates are looking to keep up the good momentum from their last two qualifiers, despite the fact that they have also been eliminated for a while now, with Iran and South Korea having already booked their tickets to Qatar.
Iraq: to bid farewell with a victory
Iraq will have their last home game of the qualifiers where they will try to make their home advantage count, a situation they have been unable to achieve over the last few months, a situation reflected in the fact that they have only five points, second to last in the group and with no hope of qualifying for the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
The Kick-off
The Iraq vs United Arab Emirates match will be played at the King Fahd Stadium, in Riad, Iraq. The kick-off is scheduled at 1:00 pm ET.
