Our prediction for the match China – Saudi Arabia
The “Dragons” have only reached the World Cup once. But they lost to all their opponents. And in the Asian Cup, after the “silver” at the home tournament twenty years ago, there were either eliminations after the group stage or defeats in the quarterfinals. The “Green Falcons” in 1994, making their debut at the World Cup, reached the 1/8. Then there was participation in five more such World Cups, including in 2018 and 2022, but all the time everything ended at the group stage. In addition, in 1984-2007, three “golds” and “silvers” were taken at the Asian Cups. But then, already in four tournaments, everything ended in the first round of elimination matches at most.
Both teams played at the Winter Asian Cup in Qatar. The Chinese failed there: a couple of goalless draws, with Tajikistan and Lebanon, and 0-1 with the tournament hosts. Then there was a victory over Singapore, a couple of draws and a loss to the Koreans – in the end, they won second place in the group against the Thais only on additional indicators. The Saudis took seven points out of nine in the group stage (a victory over Oman and Tajikistan and a goalless draw with Thailand), but already in the 1/8 finals, having allowed South Korea to equalize in the ninth minute of added time, they lost to them on penalties. Then they scored seven points in four qualifying matches, and, even having lost to Jordan in the end, they went through with them in the last round.
In the first round of the new selection round, the Chinese played Japan. And humiliatingly lost to their neighbor 0-7. Saudi Arabia played Indonesia – and sensationally ended with only a 1-1 draw.
