China take on the visitors Qatar in the round 5 match of third stage of qualification for the World Cup 2018. The match will be played on Tuesday, November 15th.
China national team still can’t step up and become one of the leading teams of the continent despite signing up big players to their Premier League. After only four matches played China almost lost their chances to battle for a place at the World Cup 2018. The hosts of the match have only one point gained so far with 2-6 goal difference. Famous Italian was appointed only a month ago so he’ not responsible for poor start. At the same time, group stage consists of 10 matches and remaining six might be not enough to close six-point gap before the third place.

Qatar are another group lowly, who managed to gain only three points in four matches thanks to 1-0 win over Syria in the most recent match. We should note that Qatar won three matches in a row, beating Serbia, 3-0, and Russia, 2-1, in two recent friendlies. Moreover, the loss to South Korea was a close one, 2-3.
China and Qatar are of about the same level. The opponents alternate wins and defeats in head-to-heads quite regularly regardless of the venue’s place. We should consider solid conditions of the visitors, who should show nice football and avoid defeat in China.
Prediction for the match: Qatar to win with +0.5 Asian handicap.
