Bahrain vs China: Match Preview
Bahrain started the third stage of 2026 World Cup qualification with a sensational 1-0 win over Australia. However, they failed to continue the momentum in the following three matches, losing 5-0 to Japan and drawing with Indonesia and Saudi Arabia. After four rounds, Bahrain has five points and holds fourth place in the group.
China currently sits at the bottom of this qualifying group for the 2026 World Cup. In their last game, they defeated Indonesia 2-1, but before that, China endured a five-match winless streak: four losses and a draw. China has conceded at least one goal in its last nine matches. Defensive issues are evident, as they have conceded 13 goals in four matches, averaging slightly more than three goals conceded per game. With six qualifying matches remaining, China certainly needs to keep pushing forward.
Probable Lineups
- Bahrain: Lutfalla; Al-Shamsan, Benaddi, Al-Hayyam, El-Khalasi; Madan, Haram, Said, Marhoon; Hassan, Al-Humaidan
- China: Wang; Gao, Browning, Jiang, Li; Xie, Wang, Li, Wei; Abduweli, Zhang
Prediction
China managed to secure its first win in the qualifiers, and Bahrain has defeated Australia. Overall, the teams are of roughly similar levels. We can expect an interesting and intense match, as both teams aim to advance to the next round. My bet is that both teams will score in this game, with odds of 1.93.
