In their final group-stage match of the 2023 AFC Asian Cup on Thursday, Saudi Arabia is set to face Thailand at the Education City Stadium.
Both teams have had a successful start to their campaigns, remaining undefeated. Saudi Arabia secured victories in their two matches, while Thailand boasts a win and a draw.
As three-time winners, Saudi Arabia, who last lifted the trophy in 1996, has already secured a spot in the knockout stage. They triumphed over Oman 2-1 in their campaign opener and continued their success with a 2-0 win against Kyrgyzstan on Sunday, courtesy of goals from Mohamed Kanno and Faisel Al-Ghamdi.
Changsuek, on the other hand, secured a 2-0 victory against Kyrgyzstan in their opening match and played to a goalless draw against Oman on Sunday. They must secure at least a point in the upcoming match to guarantee a top-two finish in the Group F table, as a loss could see Oman surpass them in the standings.
