With a week before the Asian Cup is about to kick off in the United Arab Emirates on Jan 5th. I look forward to some futures I can jump on prior to the start. The books will be slow to provide lines aside from the match bets, so hopefully I can snag a nice few ante post bets.

Here is how I see the standings after the group stages.

Group A

UAE
Thailand
Bahrain
India

Group B

Syria
Australia
Palestine
Jordan

Group C

S. Korea
China
Kyrgyzstan
Philippines

Group D

Iran
Iraq
Vietnam
Yemen

Group E

Saudi Arabia
Lebanon
Qatar
N.Korea

Group F

Japan
Uzbekistan
Oman
Turkmenistan

The tournament has expanded form 16 teams to 24 teams just like the European Championship. The last 4 tournaments have averaged 2.78 goals per game. The addition of much weaker sides should equal in lopsided scorelines and higher margins of victory.

Final 16

Thailand
China

Iran
Oman

Syria
Bahrain

Japan
Lebanon

Saudi Arabia
Iraq

S. Korea
Palestine

Australia
Uzbekistan

UAE
Qatar

Group/s of death is IMO Group E followed by Group B.

Any team in group E/B is capable of winning the group and/or causing an upset. I shall be backing the dogs in both of these groups

FINAL

IRAN V UAE

Nice info DJ peace_5

I agree withwhat you say about groups E/B. Opening odds for Saudi Arabia and Qatar wins first game have drifted (esp Qatar had opened 1.90+ now is around 1.75) might present good opportunities.

However, I have to note that in 24 games group stage 2015 cup, there were 0 draws (yes, zero) and fav won 21/24. Hope this was just an anomaly lol

1. Jordan +1.25 @ 2.01/+101 (BET365) 1 Unit

Both sides have split the last 4 meetings versus each other. I expect a tight game. The Aussies are more talented but I don't see them blowing away Jordan.

2. Thailand -1 @ 1.99/-101 (Marathon) 1 Unit

Thailand come into the game undefeated in past 9 and face India who are winless in their past 4. Both sides last game was versus Oman where Thailand won 2-0 and India drew 0-0. Looks like a 2-0 result

3. Korea -3 @ 2.25/+125 (Bet365) 1 Unit
4. Iran -2.5 @ 2.22/+122 (Marathon) 1 Unit

The dogs have been barking loud so far to start the tournament. I think that ends today. Yemen & The Philippines are miles behind their opponents

5. Uzbekistan ML @ 2.09/+109 (Pinnacle) 1 Unit
6. Lebanon +0.5 @ 2.20/+120 (5Dimes) 1 Unit
7. Qatar/Lebanon UNDER 2 @ 2.06/+106 (5Dimes) 2 Units

Time for the last games of the 1st round of group matches. I expect Lebanon to keep in low scoring perhaps a draw in the late game. Uzbekistan at plus money is value versus a side lower than them in the ELO ranks and way lower then them in Transfer value.

Updated Record after 1st Round (3-3-1 +0.31)

8. Syria ML @ 2.30/+130 (Pinnacle) 1 Unit

Syria have the Aussies on tap after this game so they need the 3 points badly. Jordan can afford to sit back and defend and rely on the counter after bagging 3 points from their opener. The value here is similar to Uzbekistan where we have Syria with a higher ELO ranking and a much more superior transfer value.

Would that be UAE +1? +1 1/2? I'm just asking because of the Odds.

No dog in this fight, but just saying, devil got it right. The UAE is definitely the favorite (rightly so).
