Yemen vs Brunei Prediction and Betting Tips

Yemen face Brunei for the second time in five days for their 2027 AFC Asian Cup qualifier clash, looking to complete a double in this match. After consecutive draws, the Middle Eastern team beat Brunei 2-0 last week.

Abdulwasea Al-Matari put Yemen ahead after 24 minutes before Nasser Al-Gahwashi doubled their advantage 12 minutes later.

With five points in their pocket in three matches, Al-Yaman as-Saeed is currently second in Group B behind Lebanon (seven points) and very much in the running for a place in the Saudi competition.

Before the defeat, Brunei beat Bhutan 2-1 on matchday two, recovering from their 5-0 loss to Lebanon on matchday one. However, Wasps failed to maintain their momentum against Yemen, losing for the second time in three games.

With three points in hand, the Southeast Asian minnows find themselves behind the Cedars by four points and still have three games to make up. Ranked 183rd in the world, Brunei have never qualified for a major tournament before and need a serious improvement in form if they are to change that here.
