Uzbekistan vs China
Asian World Cup Qualifiers
Date: Tuesday, 11th October 2016
Kick-off at 14:00 UK
Venue: Stadion Bunyodkor, Tashkent.
Uzbekistan and China face off in the World Cup Qualifiers 2018 on Tuesday.
Uzbekistan trails the top two sides in the group, Iran and South Korea, despite having six points from its first three games. The team has posted victories over Syria and Qatar before losing to Iran.
China's situation is precarious with the side only compiling one point from three games. The team lost 3-2 against Korea in its opener before managing a draw with Iran. But its chance at redemption against Syria ended in a 1-0 loss at home. A loss here could put China in elimination territory with six games left to play.
Only the top two sides of each group in the AFC qualifiers get automatic spots in the World Cup in Russia. The two third place sides face off for a chance to play against the CONCACAF playoff side. That two-legged competition will determine the final contestant in the World Cup.
Uzbekistan vs China: Head-to-Head Stats
China earned a 2-1 victory when they faced Uzbekistan in the 2015 Asia Cup held in Australia, which was the last meeting between these two sides.
The teams share 4 wins each from their last 10 meetings in all competitions and venues. While Chile had a slight edge in recent times after winning 2 of the last 4 meetings against Uzbekistan, while they lost 1 and drawn 1.
Their only meeting in a World Cup qualifier was for the 2002 Edition. Both teams earned a win in their respective home fixture with a clean sheet.
Uzbekistan vs China: Prediction
China are coming under tremendous pressure and their home fans and media were pretty vocal in expressing their criticism following the 1-0 home loss against Syria. Along with their overall poor run of results, the recent away form is also over the radar. They are without a win in the last three away games, one of which is a 0-0 draw against a lowly ranked Hong Kong. While two defeats came against South Korea on the opening fixture of Group A before a 1-0 loss to Qatar in the group phase of round 2.
Uzbekistan are a well-disciplined side and have won in 8 of their last 10 matches in all competitions. They defense is pretty strong and conceded just 4 goals from those 10 outings. Their loss to Iran last week was their first defeat at home in 9 matches, with all of the previous 8 being wins. The stats is in Uzbek’s favour and they could pile further misery on the Dragon with a win on Tuesday’s clash.
