Asian World Cup Qualifiers
Date: Tuesday, 11th October 2016
Kick-off at 13:30 UK
Venue: Shahid Dastgerdi Stadium, Tehran.
Iraq and Thailand have one thing in common when they face-off on Tuesday. Both have lost in their first three qualifying fixtures so far.
Iraq thought they had earned a point in the away match at Japan last week. But an injury time goal from former Hannover midfielder Hotaru Yamaguchi denied them the first points in the qualifying campaign. They were dealt with a similar fate in the second match against Saudi Arabia as two quick penalties in the final minutes of the match helped Saudi to overturn a goal deficit.
Thailand on the other hand are the weakest side in the group and it may come as no surprise as they have lost their first three matches against Saudi Arabia, Japan and UAE respectively. They also failed to score in the first two matches and their goal against UAE in the 3-1 is the first of te current campaign.
