| Saudi Arabia defeated China in a confrontation nearly a year ago. |
Prediction before the match Saudi Arabia vs China
Saudi Arabia caused a huge disappointment in the third qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup in Asia. Coach Herve Renard's team only won 6 points after 6 matches. The West Asian representative's score is equal to the teams that are considered weaker than them, namely Bahrain, Indonesia and China. Saudi Arabia only has 4 matches left in the third qualifying round of the World Cup, including 2 matches against tough opponents Japan and Australia. Therefore, the West Asian representative is not allowed to lose points in the 2 matches against China and Bahrain.
On the other side of the front line, China did not have a good start in the qualifying round but they have been in better rhythm in recent matches. The door to the 2026 World Cup is still wide open for China. Although they are ranked last in Group C, coach Ivankovic's team is only 1 point behind the second-placed team Australia. The victories over Bahrain and Indonesia in October and November 2024 have helped them rekindle their hopes of qualifying for the World Cup.
China just had an impressive warm-up before the match with Saudi Arabia. Coach Ivankovic's team defeated Kuwait with a score of 3-1. However, Saudi Arabia is a team of a much higher level and can completely defeat China. Nearly a year ago, China lost at home to Saudi Arabia despite playing with one more player for most of the match. In the rematch, the West Asian representative will play at home and will most likely take full advantage of this factor to bring home 3 points.
