Uzbekistan national under-23 football team faces the Saudi Arabia national under-23 football team. These two squads will play in the final of the AFC U23 Championship, as both defeated their opponents 2-0 in the semi-finals, where Uzbekistan faced Japan, while Saudi Arabia met Australia.

Uzbekistan played a high-scoring duel against Iraq in the quarter-finals, winning the game after a tense penalty shootout. Saudi Arabia did its job much better in the quarter-finals, beating Vietnam 2-0. The group stage was an easy three matches for both sides, while Arabia played its group a bit better. Uzbekistan went unbeaten in a group joined by Qatar, Iran, and Turkmenistan. Timur Kapadze's men opened the group stage with a 1-0 victory over Turkmenistan, followed by a 6-0 win vs. Qatar, and a 1-1 draw against Iran. Saudi Arabia is playing phenomenal football under the head coach Saad Al-Shehri, yet to concede a goal in the entire tournament. They also went undefeated in the group stage, but while keeping three clean sheets. Starting with a 5-0 triumph over Tajikistan, followed by a goalless tie against Japan, this side ended the group with a 2-0 win against the United Arab Emirates.

These two nations met in a friendly game back in March this year, where Arabia won 2-0. Uzbekistan U23 is yet to beat the Saudi Arabian U23 squad throughout history, winless in all five meetings since 2014. Arabia won three times, with the other two matches resulting in a draw. Uzbekistan is led in the attack by Kairat Almaty player Jasur Jaloliddinov, who scored three goals in this tournament so far. On the other side, Arabia's top scorer is Ayman Yahya, who plays for the Saudi Arabian side Al Ahli.

This will be an interesting duel for sure, but I expect the visitors to either win or end the match in a tie. Good luck!

乌兹别克斯坦国家 23 岁以下足球队面对沙特阿拉伯国家 23 岁以下足球队。这两支球队将在亚足联U23锦标赛的决赛中出战，在半决赛中，乌兹别克斯坦对阵日本，沙特阿拉伯对阵澳大利亚，两支球队都以2-0击败对手。 乌兹别克斯坦在四分之一决赛中与伊拉克进行了一场高分对决，在紧张的点球大战中获胜。沙特阿拉伯在四分之一决赛中的表现要好得多，以 2-0 击败越南。小组赛对双方来说都是轻松的三场比赛，而阿拉伯在小组赛中的表现要好一些。乌兹别克斯坦在卡塔尔、伊朗和土库曼斯坦加入的小组中保持不败。

Timur Kapadze 的球队以 1-0 战胜土库曼斯坦，随后以 6-0 战胜卡塔尔，以及 1-1 战平伊朗，开启了小组赛的序幕。沙特阿拉伯在主教练 Saad Al-Shehri 的带领下踢出了非凡的足球，但在整个比赛中都没有失球。他们在小组赛中也保持不败，但同时保持三张干净的床单。以5-0大胜塔吉克斯坦开局，随后与日本队互交白卷，这支球队以2-0战胜阿拉伯联合酋长国结束小组赛。

这两个国家在今年 3 月的一场友谊赛中相遇，阿拉伯以 2-0 获胜。自 2014 年以来，乌兹别克斯坦 U23 队在历史上还没有击败过沙特阿拉伯 U23 队，在所有五场比赛中均未获胜。阿拉伯队赢得了​​三场胜利，另外两场比赛以平局告终。乌兹别克斯坦队由凯拉特阿拉木图队球员贾苏尔·贾洛利迪诺夫率领，迄今为止他在本次比赛中打入三球。另一边，阿拉伯国家队的头号射手是效力于沙特阿拉伯球队 Al Ahli 的 Ayman Yahya。

这肯定会是一场有趣的对决，但我预测客队要么获胜，要么以平局结束比赛。祝好运！
