KYRGYZ REPUBLIC PREVIEW: STILL WITHOUT A POINT FOLLOWING THREE STRAIGHT LOSSES
Whilst Kyrgyz Republic have competed across this third round so far, they have nothing to show for it. Narrow defeats against Iran and Uzbekistan was followed up by a 3-1 loss to Qatar. This leaves them currently four points adrift of the top four in Group A and with lots of work to do if they are to keep their World Cup dream alive.
KOREA DPR PREVIEW: CONSECUTIVE DRAWS AT LEAST REPRESENT PROGRESS
Korea DPR have responded to their 1-1 loss to Uzbekistan in the first round of Group A fixtures with a par of draws against Qatar and this United Arab Emirates. But it’s victories they need if we are to see them break into the top four.

KYRGYZ REPUBLIC VS KOREA DPR PREDICTION
This is something of a must-win match for Korea DPR as they simply have to beat the bottom side Kyrgyz Republic in Group A if they are to improve their chances of qualification. Kyrgyz Republic have lost all three matches so far but each one has been competitive. They are by no means a pushover especially at home so Korea DPR will have to be at their best.
With home advantage however, we think Kyrgyz could very well get their first points on the board in the third round. They can score goals and they can cause Korea DPR issues. They were beating Uzbekistan 2-1 at half-time in their match in September but ultimately lost 2-3. Prior to that, they had won five and drawn three of their last 10 qualifiers at home. They can get a positive result here and they are worth considering draw no bet
