Lebanon and China will meet again in the AFC Asian Cup 2nd round at the Al Thumama Stadium Stadium, Doha Wednesday, January 17, 2024. Here’s the preview, h2h stats, predicted line-up, TV channel info, live streaming service providers and how to watch online.
China, who are currently third in their group with one point, drew 0-0 with Tajikistan in their previous match. This result means they have to win against Lebanon in the second round. The reason is, in the last round they will face strong Qatar.
The history of China’s participation in the Asian Cup is quite impressive. They often reach the knockout stage with their best achievement being runner-up twice. However, this match will be a tough test for them.
China will rely on players like Vu Loi and Tyias Browning who are expected to showcase their abilities in this match. They are key players who can help China achieve victory.
Coach Aleksandar Jankovic, who has long been involved in Chinese football, is expected to help his team overcome this challenge. With his experience with European teams, this Serbian coach definitely has a strategy to win this match.
On the other hand, Lebanon suffered a 0-3 defeat to Qatar in their opening match. This defeat made their chances of continuing to the next round very small. They are currently in last place in their group.
Lebanon have participated in the AFC Asian Cup twice before, but both times they were knocked out in the group stages. The Lebanese team, led by Coach Miodrag Radulovic, is currently not in good shape. They have won only 1 of their last 7 matches.
Determined to win, China is expected to showcase their offensive game in this match with Vu Loi being the fulcrum of their attack.
Lebanon, on the other hand, will have to find a way to improve their weak defense in previous matches. They also have to find a way to score goals and maintain their hopes of progressing to the next round.
With the latest performance and the results of the meetings between the two teams, where in the last two meetings between the two teams, China always won, the Dragon Team is expected to get full points in the second match in the group stage of the Asian Cup.
