Thailand made a good comeback after losing with India and they have a chance to play for the next round now although winning against UAE will be too tough. Still, they can make it.

Great game! Finally won an upset that makes up for past losses haha. Thai Captain rolled back the years amd delivered so well for the Elephants. He dribbled so well in last minute and even should have made it 2-0 but credit to defence also... 18 fouls and 4 yellows, they made it a physical game for the Bahraini, and as I expected, they were totally shocked by the Thai approach, who saved the best plays and dribbles for the dying minutes.

@Sy I also bet on Syria, over 2/1 but I parlayed with an expected UAE win to bring odds to just over 3.1. Syria are just too good to not win at least 1 game, but I feel in my bones they can also beat Australia. Follow your heart!

the Syrian team forma is up now and the coach decided to start with all the attacking players having Omar Alsoma , Omar Khribin and Mardik Mardikian
the Syrian team will start attacking early and they will put tons of pressure on Jordan , if things go as planned Syria should have an early lead or at least they will make Jordanian players really tired and benefit from that later on the match

Syria to win X2.62 ( sportsbet after boost ) or at X2.47 ( without boost ) is looking really solid IMO

What's happening in Thailand. It's a bit fishy now, lol. Couple of days ago, there was a women from Saudi and now Boy from Bahrain. As per media, he has the permission from Australian govt and he said he had no issue in Bahrain. Who knows?
No team can able to score till now. It's half time. Hope Bahrain will make it an easy win as I earlier mentioned.

my main focus today is Jordan vs Syria , but to be honest I'm still confused and the odds aren't satisfying me so far
we all saw last game for Syria how odds went up from X1.65 to over 2 , and at that time I decided to make the bet cause the game looked better than a coin flip for me
Syria was able to have the ball but Palestine played strong defending match and the Syrian strikers weren't able to reach the goal

at the moment there is huge pressure on Syria cause they were supposed to win the previous match since it's easier on papers , I'm not sure if this kind of pressure is good or bad for the players cause through the world cup qualification Syria played amazingly great while they were facing pressure
these matches where against Iran and Australia and all of them ended draw with Syria being so close to get the win

the Syria coach though did horrible plan in the previous match and now everyone here isn't satisfied with his decisions , some people are demanding to fire him as well so today will be a real test for him cause the Syrian players are way better than Jordan players but they need a good tactic and plan to beat Jordan

I will keep watching the odds and the news and if I decided to bet I will put a reply here , but I'm telling you in advance this game is really hard to predict and I may put an emotion bet so following me isn't truly recommended 

Except that that crazy and questionable coach has been fired (hours after the India loss!). Interim coach Sirisak Yodyardthai says he'll make Thais happy... so this means attack. He said he only wants 1 point from each of the last 2 group games, but I think that's mind games.Thais are fast, agile, and very attack minded. They have all the assets for that and they played a negative defensive formation, so of course they lost.

They'll be stinging from embarassment and will probably attack Bahrain, who'll be shell-shocked. Then, there's also that refugee footballer issue... hope Thailand doesn't return him to Bahrain (as would be illegal under international law). Football wise though, I'm predicting an upset.

Thailand played so bad in last match against India. On the other hand, as you said Bahrain has played well in the last match too. So, this should be an easy win for Bahrain in case nothing unexpected happens. I assume it will be 2-0 or 3-1 score.

Bahrain vs Thailand TIP 1 odd 2.40
 Thailand is led by crazy and at least questionable coach, defense is shitty (four goals from young Indian team). Bahrain with some good results, scored 15 goals in five matches. They looked strong vs UAE but then umpires helped their opponent.

Oman was better than Uzbekistan but et the end of the day, it's the score which is evaluated. Qatar was able to score at 70+ minutes while later Uzbekistan scored another. It was a terrible match in fact. Sad that Oman has lost points here.

I am watching the match between Uzbekistan and Oman. Uzbekistan is ahead with the only goal scored in the first half. Oman should have equalize. They are better team then Uzbeks I guess.

By the way just placed a bet for over 1.5 goals LOL

My bad. I made the right bets, but typed the wrong names. So yeah, Japan didn't do 2-0 at HT, in fact were down a goal. Frustrating outing for me in AFC so far... and Oman also trailing a goal with second half just started... damn the Uzbeks, but they're playing quite well.

@Sy: FromHOT is working so-so for me, but better option than I had before. Thanks!

for today I will be only betting on Qatar to win against Lebanon X1.80
I have watched several matches for both teams and Qatar is way better than Lebanon . I have mentioned it before is that Qatar invested tons of money to prerapre their national team for the upcoming world cup that will be hosted in Qatar so the team is well prepared

only thing I'm afraid of is the atmosphere there , I guess not all of you know that the host (UAE ) and Qatar have political problems so I'm not sure if the Qatari players like their stay there
so don't expect to see Qatari supporters in the stadium

Thank you very much for the correction, the low odds payout on favorite teams to win certain match set by bookmakers have confused me as I am having the impression that the group stage of this tournament will be played at every team respective home countries first. I guess I must analyze my betting strategy for this tournament again as favorite teams might stand a higher chance to suffer a shock defeat to underdogs as the matches are being played at neutral venues.

United Arab Emirates is the host country for AFC Cup  
How can Iraq and Japan have home field advantage? 

I am totally joining your ship guys, I don't think there is any possibility that Japan will lose, but 4-0 is a pretty high score, so that might be an over expectation. On the other matches, On a paper and statistic Qatar will get an easy win vs Lebanon, and I think that's what will happen.  I am not really sure about Oman vs Uzbekistan, I don't really know anything about those either team.

For your information, Japan is not playing against Uzbekistan today even though both of these teams are being placed together in group F, Japan is playing against Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan will be playing against Oman today, you might need to check on your bets to see if there is any mistakes on it.

Japan's too classy for Uzbekistan, so my bet is on Japan to win with a handicap of -1.5 at half time (Fairlay @2.5) as they'll want to put the game to bed with an early blitz. They probably won't have to play as negatively as in the World Cup too in this tournament as physical disadvantage is cut down in AFC.

I've got a parlay on the other two games (Qatar and Oman to win) at @3.68.

Japan has shown extraordinary performance in World Cup. I am expecting a big win against Turkmenistan. A 4-0 or 4-1 is expected. Turkmenistan will barely score today.

Japan has always been a formidable team in Asian football, and they will play against Turkmenistan today with home ground advantage, even though the odds payout for Japan to win the match in full time is extremely low @1.10 only, but I believe it would be extremely hard for Turkmenistan to keep a clean sheet against Japan today, so I will still place a bet on Japan to win the match in full time despite the low odds payout.

I watch on Fox sport TV 

Today my favorite team Japan will play VS Turkmenistan it doesn't seem difficult for Japan to win the match
I'm sure of winning at least 2 goals or more
