Syria will face Myanmar in the third round of AFC Asian Cup qualifying. The match is set for Thursday, October 9, at 18:15 CET. Here’s a preview and some betting suggestions for the game.

Syria vs Myanmar: Match Preview

Both teams have started their Asian Cup qualifying campaigns strongly. Syria won 2–0 against Pakistan and followed that with a 1–0 victory over Afghanistan. Myanmar also had a good start with a 2–1 comeback win against Afghanistan and then a narrow 1–0 win over Pakistan.

This puts both teams level with six points. Syria leads the group due to a better goal difference of 3–0, compared to Myanmar’s 3–1. Only the group winner will proceed to the Asian Cup, so this match is vital. Winning could give either team an advantage ahead of their rematch on October 14. If one team wins both matches, qualification would be almost assured.

Syria has participated in the last two Asian Cups and reached the knockout stage in 2023. Meanwhile, Myanmar has never qualified for the finals, but they now have a significant opportunity if they can beat the more experienced Syrians.
