Kyrgyzstan and Saudi Arabia will meet again in the AFC Asian Cup 2nd round at the Ahmad bin Ali Stadium Stadium, Al-Rayyan Sunday, January 21, 2024. Here’s the preview, h2h stats, predicted line-up, TV channel info, live streaming service providers and how to watch online.
Kyrgyzstan, who are in Group F of the 2023 AFC Asian Cup, have a big challenge ahead of them. In this group, only Saudi Arabia is ahead, making this match very important for Kyrgyzstan. Despite losing 0-2 to Thailand in their opening match, hope is still there for Stefan Tarkovic’s team.
In the 2019 Asian Cup, Kyrgyzstan managed to pass the group stage even though they lost the first two matches. They hope to repeat the feat this year. In the final group match of the year, they will meet Oman, the team they beat in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. This gives them hope of progressing to the next round.
However, before that, Kyrgyzstan must face Saudi Arabia, the strongest team in the group. Even though their task seemed difficult, they were determined to put up the best possible resistance. They will have to try hard to minimize the goal difference, as this could be a deciding factor in qualifying for the next round.
On the other hand, Saudi Arabia also has its own ambitions. They want to win to immediately get a ticket to the next round. Even though they only won narrowly over Oman in their opening match, they remain optimistic. Their coach, Roberto Mancini, believes that his team can perform better.
Many Saudi Arabian players have played at club level in Europe, which has helped them improve their skills. The two players who scored for Saudi Arabia against Oman, Ghareeb and Al-Bulaihi, play for the top two clubs in Saudi Arabia: Al Hilal and Al Nassr.
Since the start of 2023, Saudi Arabia has won 7 matches in all competitions, and 5 of these matches were won by a margin of at least 2 goals. This shows their strength and makes them the favorites in this match.
However, Kyrgyzstan should not be underestimated. Even though they have experienced several defeats with the same or greater goal difference, they still have a strong fighting spirit. They have demonstrated their ability to recover from defeat and achieve victory.
