Asian Cup 2007: Saudi Arabia vs. Bahrain

Saudi Arabia is going to play their last group match against Bahrain on 18th July. Bahrain lost their first match against Indonesia and Saudi Arabia drew against South Korea in their first match. I think for both Saudi Arabia and Bahrain the match will have a great importance because much of their possibility of getting into the next round now depend on the last match.

Bahrain is clearly not favorite against Saudi Arabia but you can not leave the possibility of any upset. Saudi Arabia is the three time winner of Asian Cup and they are also one of the favorite for Asian Cup 2007. However, the present Saudi Arabia team includes many young players who are energetic but have less experience. Saudi Arabian coach gave much importance on the young generation players in the team.

On the other hand, Bahrain is not so strong and they have to give their best effort to cause any upset against the strong Saudi Arabia. Bahrain have barely any chance to progress in the next round. I think Bahrain should focus on their game and forget anything else. Their fans will be happy to see some impressive performance from their players.

Many upset have seen in Asian Cup 2007 so far and you can not say that there will not be any more upset in the tournament. So, you can hope for an exciting match between Saudi Arabia and Bahrain. I hope fans will really enjoy the match.
