At present, the final ranking of the 2 groups in the round of 12 has not yet been announced, and it is necessary to wait until the end of the final round. In Group A, South Korea accumulated 23 points, iran with a backlog of 22 points ranked first in the group, the two teams are the only one in the group, not surprisingly, South Korea finally ranked first in Group A, Iran won at the same time, but also hope that South Korea will lose.
In Group B, Japan has 21 points, and Saudi Arabia, which has a 20-point backlog, ranks first in the group, and the difference between the two teams is also 1 point. In the last round, Japan played against Vietnam and Saudi Arabia played against Australia, so Japan is expected to be able to win the top spot in the group, and Saudi Arabia will not necessarily win Australia.
In addition to the battle for the top spot in the two groups, the third place in Group A will be revealed in the final round, and Iraq, the United Arab Emirates and Lebanon are all likely to get it.
In the final round, Iraq played against Syria, the Uae against South Korea and Lebanon against Iran. As long as the UAE wins, it can lock in the third place in the group, and South Korea should not agree, at least to ensure that it is unbeaten, then it will give Iraq a chance to overtake.
Iraq, which ranks eighth in Asia, has not tasted victory in the previous 8 rounds of 6 draws and 2 losses, until the first victory after the 9th round of victory over the UAE, with 8 points, only 1 point away from the UAE. In the last round against Syria, which was out early, Iraq had great hopes of staging a miracle if it won, which was much stronger than the national football team.
For Lebanon, the last round of defeat to Syria, resulting in its own on the verge of out, currently ranked fifth in the group with 6 points, the last round must defeat Iran, but also hope that the United Arab Emirates lost to South Korea and Iraq lost to Syria, once the win over Iran is determined to be out. Also 9 rounds of 6 points, Lebanon still has a glimmer of hope to qualify, the national football team early out of the early.
