The Asian teams are all gearing up in preparation for next months Asian Cup, the equivalent of Europe's European Championships. Teams are in the midst of final adjustments and many of them are now using match practices to add the final touch up before ther event proper does kick off. As we all know with the Middle Eastern nations, their matches tend to be low scoring, dull affairs. Unlike the East nations such as Japan, South Korea, where they do play with a constant high tempo, teams from the gulf are more cautious with their approach.

Over the years, Bahrain has been regarded as one of the stronger sides in the Gulf but in the last couple of years, their form has really been in decline. They have only won once in their last seven matches and disappointingly crashed out of the Gulf Cup in the group stages. For the Saudi's, they are one of the most boring sides to watch around and in their last eight matches, onyl eight goals have been scored or conceded in total. It is very likely that this match will end in a draw but on the safe side, bet on the draw at ht.
