Thailand readiness analysis
The Thai national team did not have any players with serious injuries in the first two matches. In this match, we will not have a team captain like Tirathorn Punmathan who was prevented from accumulating two yellow cards, and the other players are ready to take the field.
Without Tirathorn Punmathan, Nicholas Mickelson will move to play as a left-back. On the right side, there will be a chance for Sovanan Borirat, while players in other positions are unlikely to have much change. Which will be led by Peradun Chamersamy, Suvanath Muinta, Subachuk Sarachat and Supachai Jeded.

Analysis of the readiness of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
In the last match, Al Hilal defender Hassan Al-Tembakhti was replaced at the beginning of the second half. Due to minor injuries, it is expected that he will be able to rest in this game. While other major players did not face any problems.
The Saudi national team, under the era of Roberto Mancini, will come with a three-man defense system, led by Ali Al-Bulaihi, Ali Lajmi and Al-Saluli, while the offensive line has playmakers, and a talent like Salem Al-Dosari helps shape the game behind him. Abdullah Ratif is a 21-year-old striker.

Football analysis, expected match results
Although the performance of the Thai national team was excellent throughout the first two matches, we still have to honestly admit that we are still far from that very good Saudi national team, both in terms of the quality of the players. Power and experience
With the confidence that has been built up, I believe that in this game, Thailand will be able to compete with Saudi Arabia in an interesting way. With the irresistible strength of the Green Army, this match will end with Saudi Arabia’s victory in the end
Expected result: Thailand 0-2 Saudi Arabia
