Ho, Linh and Van Duc scored for the hosts while Xu managed to pull one back for China but it wasn’t enough to avoid defeat.

The loss leaves China in 5th place with 5 points from 8 matches, having won just 1 match.

On the other hand, Saudi Arabia is on top of the table despite their 2-0 loss to Japan last month.

With 19 points, they are on top and a win away from confirming a berth in the 2022 Qatar World Cup.

They have been inconsistent despite being on top having won just 1 of their last 5 matches. However, Saudi is too strong a side to let go off this opportunity.

Both sides last met in October, where Saudi beat China 3-2 in a thriller.

Team News

There are no injury concerns for either side ahead of this clash with both teams having all their players available.

China possible 11:  

Junling, Linpeng, Chenjie, Dabao, Shenchao, Xin, Xi, Junmin, Weijun, Binbin and Yuning

Al-Owais, Abdulhamid, Al-Amri, Sharahili, Al-Shahrani, Al-Hassan, Al-Faraj, Al-Muwallad, Kanno, Al-Dawsari and Al-Shehri

Prediction: China 0-2 Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia have the World Cup target in mind and are expected to go guns blazing in this one.

They have a good record against China and aim to capitalize against a side woefully out of form.

We fancy a Saudi win which takes them through to the showpiece event later this year.
