Gameday in Sharjah for the round 9 between China & Saudi.

The important info here is that Saudi is now qualified after the loss of Australia against Japan. Since that moment, odds of Saudi raised a lot and it's a very good thing for us.

Despite the qualification, Saudi's motivation is high, Herve Renard wants his team to finish at the top of the ranking.

China will be very their star Wu Lei in front, he stayed in China, I really don't understand his choice because he has really nothing to do anymore in Espanyol and he needs to play football not stay on the bench. Important defender Wu Xi is suspended, it's a big problem for China's defense. Li Lei is also injured. China will not count on any foreigners except Browning/Jiang Guangtai.

Saudi on their side has some small missings but they will really not be affected.

China is ranked 5 with 1 win, 2 draws & 5 losses for 8 goals scored & 16 goals conceded.

Saudi is ranked 2 with 6 wins, 1 draw & 1 loss for 10 goals scored & 5 goals conceded.

China is really not in good form, they have a lot of fans complaining about their performance, in an interview in Sharjah, Sun Jihai said that it's affecting the players.

Before leaving to UAE, China faced the U23 team and won 2-0 I'm not very convinced by that result.

The good thing that I like about China is the addition of Pep Munoz lately who is a great staff as he knows well chinese players.

Game will be played in UAE so of course we will see Saudi fans to support their team as both countries are friendly.

When they met on the first game, Saudi won 3-2, they were leading well but then they relaxed and scared themself, offensively things will not be the same with this game, no imports as Alan & Elkeson. As I said, Wu Lei will not be there in front.

I really don't expect Saudi to relax, Herve Renard really wants to perform well on this game, it's also a way to prepare the WC, on all others competitions Saudi didn't want to take any risk and wasn't going with the main line up.

I expect a game dominated by Saudi and a win 0-1 or 0-2.

中国和沙特之间的第 9 轮比赛日在沙迦举行。

这里的重要信息是，在澳大利亚输给日本之后，沙特现在获得了参赛资格。从那一刻起，沙特的指数提高了很多，这对我们来说是一件非常好的事情。

尽管获得了资格，但沙特的积极性很高，赫夫·雷纳德希望他的球队能够在排名中名列前茅。

中国缺少了他们的球星武磊，他留在了西班牙，我真的不明白他的选择，因为他在西班牙人真的无事可做，他需要踢足球而不是坐在板凳上。重要中场吴曦被禁赛，这对中国的后防来说是个大问题。李雷也受伤了。除了勃朗宁/蒋光太，中国不会指望任何归化球员。

沙特方面有一些小缺席，但他们真的不会受到影响。

中国队以1胜2平5负的成绩位列第5，进8球失16球。

沙特以10球5球6胜1平1负排名第2。

中国的状态真的不好，有很多球迷抱怨他们的表现，在沙迦接受采访时，孙继海表示这影响了球员。

在前往阿联酋之前，中国U23队以2-0获胜，我对这个结果不太相信。

我喜欢中国的好处是最近加入了 Pep Munoz，他是一个很棒的员工，他很了解中国球员。

比赛将在阿联酋进行，所以沙特球迷支持他们的球队，因为两国很友好。

当他们在第一场比赛中相遇时，沙特队以 3-2 获胜，他们的优势很大，但随后他们放松了，中国进攻端的情况与这场比赛不同，没有像 Alan & Elkeson 那样的球员。正如我所说，武磊不会出场。 我不认为沙特会放松，Herve Renard 真的很想在这场比赛中表现出色，这也是准备世界杯的一种方式，在所有其他比赛中，沙特不想冒任何风险。

预测沙特1-0或2-0胜
