SAU vs PAL Dream11: Saudi Arabia currently sit just one point behind Group D leaders Uzbekistan and victory here over Palestine in this AFC Qualifier would see them jump into top spot. The hosts are currently unbeaten in their four Group D games played so far and have built their success on a solid defensive foundation, having kept two clean sheets over the course of those four matches. This backline is likely to prove crucial here, with Palestine expected to struggle going forward with only three goals scored in their five group games. With that in mind, Saudi Arabia are expected not only to win this one, but also to keep their third clean sheet in Group D.
