Yemen vs Bhutan Prediction: Odds, Analysis & Betting Tips

Get ready for a fascinating encounter as we bring you our detailed Yemen vs Bhutan prediction for the Asian Cup Qualification match scheduled on November 18, 2025, at 14:30 GMT. With both teams eager to make their mark, this preview dives into recent form, head to head stats, tactical approaches, and the latest betting odds. Whether you’re a seasoned sports betting fan or just curious about the match, our analysis will help you make sense of the numbers and the narratives.

Match Context: Neutral Ground, High Stakes

This match will unfold in Kuwait, a neutral venue chosen due to the ongoing civil war in Yemen. The stakes are high for both sides, but the context could not be more different. Yemen, currently second in Group B with 8 points from four games, is chasing group leaders Lebanon. Bhutan, meanwhile, sits at the bottom with just one point, still searching for their first win in the qualifiers.

Team Form and Recent Results

  • Yemen has shown resilience and improvement in recent months. Their form in the World Cup Qualification Asia is solid: 3 wins, 4 draws, and 3 losses. Notably, they demolished Brunei 9-0 and followed up with a 2-0 win in the reverse fixture. Their most eye-catching result was a shock 2-1 away win over Bahrain, defying odds of 8.0.
  • Bhutan has struggled, earning just one point from a goalless draw against Yemen on Matchday 1. Since then, they have lost to Brunei (2-1) and Lebanon (2-0, 4-0). In friendlies, their record is also underwhelming: 2 wins, 2 draws, and 6 losses.

Head to Head: Yemen’s Dominance

  • Yemen is unbeaten in four previous meetings with Bhutan, boasting three wins and one draw.
  • The last three encounters have seen Yemen keep clean sheets, with Bhutan failing to score since their first meeting in 27.0.

Squads, Tactics, and Staff News

  • Yemen is managed by Noureddine Ould Ali, who emphasizes preparation and regularly holds training camps for both local and international players. The squad features a mix of domestic talent and professionals playing in Iraq, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and Oman. Captain Harwan Al Zubaidi leads a defense that has grown in confidence.
  • Bhutan is under the guidance of Japanese coach Atsushi Nakamura, known for his focus on teamwork and defensive organization. Bhutan typically sets up with a low block, aiming to frustrate more technically gifted opponents. Captain Nima Wangdi anchors the midfield, while Yeshi Dorji II and Jigme Namgyel provide attacking options.

As of now, there are no major injury concerns for either side, so both coaches should have their preferred lineups available.

Yemen vs Bhutan Prediction: Odds, Tips, and Final Score

Let’s break down the Yemen vs Bhutan prediction using the latest betting odds and our AI-powered tips. The current odds paint a clear picture:

  • Home win: 1.08
  • Draw: 11.0
  • Away win: 27.0

With Yemen’s squad valued at €2.16 million compared to Bhutan’s €785,000, the gulf in quality is evident. Our AI system’s best tip is H1 (Yemen to win by at least two goals), with a confidence rating of 11.0/10 and odds of 1.24. For the 1x2 market, the recommendation is a straightforward home win (1) with maximum trust and odds of 1.08.

Over/Under Market and Expected Score

  • NerdyTips’ AI suggests betting on over 2.5 goals, with a trust score of 1.0 and odds of 1.43. Given Yemen’s recent attacking displays and Bhutan’s defensive frailties, this seems a smart play.
  • Predicted final score: 3:0 in favor of Yemen.

Key Betting Insights

  1. Yemen’s recent 9-0 and 2-0 wins over Brunei show their ability to break down weaker defenses.
  2. Bhutan’s only point came from a defensive masterclass against Yemen, but replicating that performance away from home (even on neutral ground) will be tough.
  3. Yemen has kept clean sheets in their last three head to head matches with Bhutan.

Final Thoughts and Betting Tips

While football is full of surprises—just ask anyone who bet on Yemen’s 2-1 win over Bahrain—this fixture looks set to follow the script. Yemen’s superior squad depth, recent form, and historical dominance make them overwhelming favorites. Bhutan’s best hope is to keep the score respectable, but even their disciplined defense under Nakamura is likely to be breached multiple times.

  • Best bet: Yemen -1.5 (H1) at 1.24 odds
  • Alternative: Over 2.5 goals at 1.43 odds
  • 1x2 market: Home win (1) at 1.08 odds

In summary, our Yemen vs Bhutan prediction is a comfortable win for Yemen, with a likely margin of at least two goals. For those looking to add a little spice to their sports betting slip, the over 2.5 goals market also holds value. Just remember, in football—and in betting—anything can happen, but sometimes the numbers tell a story you can trust.
