2.25Tip and bets
After a major defeat by Japan, bookmakers have stopped believing in China. In this confrontation, Saudi Arabia is considered a clear favorite. However, we believe that there is no huge difference in class between the teams, and the home advantage will help the Chinese team fight for points.
Our betting tip is Asian handicap (+1) on China for 1.97
Bet on total
Both teams have not been very promising in attack lately. The hosts have scored only one goal in three matches, and the visitors rarely show high scoring in matches with equal opponents. We believe that this match will not be productive.
The second bet is total under 2.5 goals for 1.75
Bet on the first half
In the previous six head-to-head matches, Saudi Arabia has not lost in the first half. We think that today the visitors will cope with the initial onslaught of the opponent.
Prediction - draw in the first half with odds of 2.20
