HONG KONG: Brimming with confidence following a 15-0 rout of Bhutan
three days ago, Qatar will be looking to keep their unbeaten record
against hosts Hong Kong when they two meet in a 2018 FIFA World
Cup/2019 AFC Asian Cup joint-qualifying match at Mongkok Stadium.
Qatar crushed Bhutan 15-0 in their match at Al Sadd Stadium on
Thursday before taking their flight to Hong Kong where coach Kim
Pan-gon's awaits the Maroons.
Coached by Daniel Carreno, Qatar have a 5-0 head-to-head record
against their hosts Hong Kong.
For the clash today, Group C leaders Hong Kong - with 7 points from
three games - arrive with two home wins and an away draw against China
in Shenzhen last week.
Second placed Qatar have six points from two games.
Besides tackling the home side playing in familiar conditions, Qatar
will have to be ready to face the music in front of a packed Mongkok
Stadium.
Organisers say all tickets at the compact 6,660-seat venue were sold
out long ago.
Hong Kong are likely to make three changes, with striker Chan Siu-ki,
midfielder Lo Kwan-yee and full back Cheung Kin-fung in the starting
line-up.
In one of the most lop-sided games on the international stage, hosts
Qatar on Thursday hammered lowly-ranked Bhutan 15-0 at Al Sadd
Stadium.
