Preview
Sri Lanka head into this after a 3-0 loss to Uzbekistan in their opening clash of Group C on Wednesday.
Masharipov, Khamdamov and Sayfiev scored for the hosts to inflict a 4th loss in 5 matches across competitions on the Islanders.
The Asian side has just one draw in their last 5 matches; being a goalless one against India last year in October.
This leaves them at the bottom of the Qualifiers group currently and can only try for a win now to keep their slim hopes alive.
On the other hand, Thailand began their campaign in style with a 3-0 win over Maldives on Wednesday.
Yooyen, Dangda and Hemviboon scored for the War Elephants to ensure the perfect start as they remain undefeated since June last year.
The War Elephants eye another win as it can take them to a double-digit unbeaten streak. The win took them to the top of the group.

Thailand possible 11:
Thamsatchanan, Do, Hemviboon, Pomphan, Bunmathan, Sukjitthammakul, Yooyen, Charoenrattanapirom, Puangchan, Phala and Dangda
Prediction: Sri Lanka 0-2 Thailand
Thailand is expected to win this on a canter as the hosts look lacklustre and hopelessly out of confidence.
With no win for a while, Sri Lanka would be eyeing some sort of play as they look to go toe-to-toe with the toppers.
