xSyria national football team takes on the visitors China PR national football team at “Hang Jebat Stadium” stadium in the gameweek eight of the Asian Football Confederation’s Preliminary Competition for the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia. The match will be played in Malacca on Tuesday, June 13th.
In 2017 Syria conducted four encounters resulting in one win, two draws and one defeat. After seven rounds of the qualifying competition the Syrians occupy the fourth place in the Group A table with eight points gained and 2-3 goal difference saving minimum chances for getting a higher place. At its home field Syria has neither lost any match nor conceded any single goal in the current qualification cycle, having taken two draws with the same 0:0 scoreline against South Korea and Iran as well as 1:0triumph over Uzbekistan.

In its turn, China PR has played five games in 2017 getting two victories, single draw and two losses in them. Despite the fast development of the country’s national Super League, China PR A-team is unable to become the leader of the Asian football so far. The side picked up five points in seven matches of the qualifying competition with 3-7 goal difference resulting in the team’s sitting on the fifth position in the Group A having lost all the chances for promotion to the Mundial’s final stage. On the road China PR was defeated in all three encounters of the qualification: 2:3 vs. South Korea, 0:2 vs. Uzbekistan and 0:1 vs. Iran.
In the reverse fixture Syria broke China PR with 0:1 scoreline on the road. Taking into consideration Syria’s statistics in the current qualifying cycle as well as weak performance of the Chinese at away fields, I presume that their head-to-head will be dictated by the hosting side with not many goals combined by the opponents.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
