Last Game Analysis -  Great Britain played a disjointed game, which is not surprising since they have only trained together for a few weeks. They were uncomfortable as a unit and almost went through the motions. The goal was the result of a dead ball and they only troubled Senegal on two further occasions. One major problem was the fitness levels, they seemed to tire early into the 2nd half. The team looked a little nervous also and were unsettled throughout the game, with only elder statesmen Giggs and Bellamy comfortable. U.A.E started the game against Uruguay in fine form, full of confidence they played a great 1st half, Abdulrahman was the star man. When Uruguay stepped up their game in the 2nd half they started to struggle. The Emirates may have more success against the inferior British team.

Betting Analysis - Another game that is hard to predict, GB will be roared on by 80,000 fans who will expect victory but the quality of the team is not high. The players are capable but they are not able to connect as a team after just two weeks practise. U.A.E looked lively for half the game, with audacious flicks and fast one touch passing they looked good. They could not keep it up which is understandable and faded towards the end. I can see GB struggling again and think U.A.E have it in them to contain GB. Betting tips pick Draw in 90 minutes@4.50
