Saudi Arabia will enter this match with confidence. Their recent 3-2 victory over Indonesia highlighted not only their offensive prowess but also their composure under pressure. Despite playing with ten men at the end of the match, they found a way to win – a reflection of the mentality Roberto Mancini has developed since taking charge. Mancinis team now leads the group and knows that another win will secure their progress to the final qualifying round.
Under Mancini, the Green Falcons have adopted a more direct and aggressive style, applying pressure up front and making quick transitions in midfield. Salman Al-Faraj has been the engine maintaining momentum in the middle, while Firas Al-Buraikan remains a reliable goal-scoring threat, having scored in three consecutive qualifiers. Their domestic performance has been their foundation – Saudi Arabia are unbeaten in their last nine competitive matches in Jeddah.
