Match Stats

Saudi Arabia:

Roberto Mancini's team enters their final group fixture in the Asian Cup seeking just one point to secure the top spot, a feat they haven't achieved since 2007. The Saudis, unbeaten in their last seven matches, aim for a perfect group stage record and boast a strong defensive record, conceding only one goal in their last seven competitive fixtures. Despite past struggles in the final group fixture, a victory on matchday three would mark a significant milestone for Saudi Arabia.


Thailand:

Thailand, after a resilient defensive performance in their last outing, is well-positioned to advance to the knockout stage for the second consecutive time. Under Masatada Ishii's guidance, they have achieved consecutive clean sheets in the group phase, a first in the tournament's history. A win on matchday three would secure Thailand's first-ever group victory in the Asian Cup, highlighting their strong defensive improvement and putting them in a favorable position for automatic qualification to the last 16.


Analysis:

Mancini made three changes to Saudi Arabia's lineup on matchday two, bringing in Abdulellah Al-Malki, Mohammed Al-Breik, and Firas Al-Buraikan. Salem Al-Dawsari reached 80 caps, while Mohamed Kanno and Ali Al-Bulaihi are one appearance away from 50. Kanno scored his third international goal, and Faisal Al-Ghamdi netted his first for the senior side, contributing to Ahmed Al-Kassar's second clean sheet. Thailand maintained the same starting 11 from matchday one to two, introducing Suphanan Bureerat. Jaroensak Wonggorn reached double-digit caps, Nicholas Mickelson approaches that milestone, and Patiwat Khammai secured his second consecutive clean sheet with just two stops in the previous match.
