Saudi Arabia and Thailand will lock horns at the Education City Stadium in their last Asian Cup group-stage game.
Here is what bookies think about who is going to win this game (betting odds powered by Betobet):
Saudi Arabia – 1.63
Draw – 3.47
Thailand – 5.90
Saudi Arabia
In their first two games, Roberto Mancini's team got six points. Their display could be not very exciting but they know how to grind out results.
In the opener, they beat Oman 2-1 thanks to a last-gasp goal. Then they defeated Kyrgyzstan 2-0 who were reduced to ten men already in the 9th minute and saw another red card forty minutes before the full-time.
A draw against Thailand would suit Saudi Arabia just fine: they will finish on top of the group anyway.
Thailand
Thailand have already secured the third place in their group and will most likely go to the playoffs. Their games against Kyrgyzstan and Oman earned them four points and two clean sheets.

Our betting tip: Saudi Arabia win or draw + Goals total under 2.5 (Betobet's betting odds – 1.88)
