GK
Mohamed Al-Owais
Al-Owais has always given his all in front of his goal with consistent saves. He could keep a clean sheet in this important encounter. He has kept 9 clean sheets in the current WC Qualifiers.
DEF
Yasser Al-Shahrani
Al-Shahrani was brilliant in the initial stages of the qualification but has since been rested which can push him to make an appearance that could lead to a solid control in the backline.
A right-back with plenty of experience under his belt, China will hope that his defence and offense are on the stop against Saudi Arabia.
MID
Kanno was able to create his contributions with his consistent build-up passes that allow him to keep most of the ball retention with his playmaking skills.
Xin was brilliant in the last match as he scored the winning goal to keep his side in strong contention which could be channeled into a strong performance for this match
ST
Salem Al Dawsari
Al Dawsari holds brilliant goal-scoring potential which should be regained in this match as he can pile up several shots on target with greater potential to convert making him our prime choice.
Yuning creates several goals with several shots on target that could lead to another impressive performance coming into this fixture.
