Yemen vs Brunei Prediction and Betting Tips | 14th October 2025

Yemen take on Brunei for the second time in five days for their clash in the 2027 AFC Asian Cup qualifiers, looking to complete a double in the fixture. After back-to-back draws, the Middle Eastern side beat Brunei 2-0 last week.

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

With five points in the bag from three games, Al-Yaman as-Sa'eed are currently second in Group B behind Lebanon (seven points) and very much in contention for a place in the Saudi Arabian showpiece.

Before the loss, Brunei had beaten Bhutan 2-1 on matchday two to produce an encouraging recovery from their 5-0 drubbing at the hands of Lebanon on the first day. However, the Wasps were unable to keep up the momentum against Yemen, going down for the second time in three games.

With three points in the bag, the Southeast Asian minnows find themselves trailing the Cedars by four points and have three more games left to catch up. Ranked a lowly 183rd in the world, Brunei have never qualified for a major tournament before and need a serious upturn in form if they are to change that here.
