Bahrain has made some great strides in recent years. Indeed, the Reds have never made it to the World Cup finals, but they have made significant progress. Before 2000, the hosts had only played once at the Asian Cup. Since then, they've made it to the next six tournaments without fail, even making the playoffs in 2019 and 2023. The Devils are now aiming to qualify for the World Cup as well. They've already made it to the third stage. In the four rounds, the hosts lost only to Japan (0:5), drew with Indonesia and Saudi Arabia (2:2 and 0:0), and beat Australia (1:0). That puts them in fourth place in Group C.

China has only made it to the final part of the World Cup once in its history. It happened in 2002 when they didn't reach the group stage. The Chinese are now trying to make it to the World Cup 2026, but it's looking pretty unlikely. In the first match of the third qualification round, they were humiliated by Japan – 0:7. After that, the visitors lost to Saudi Arabia and Australia 1:2 and 1:3, but then managed to defeat Indonesia 2:1. They're still at the bottom of the Group C standings.

In four H2H games, Bahrain has never managed to beat China. They've drawn three times and lost once. This match is the Devils' best chance to get their first win in the confrontation. Bahrain is doing really well in the qualifying tournament and has a good chance of making it to the finals. On the other hand, the Chinese have failed three of their opening four games.

The latter is currently the most conceding team among all participants in the third round of Asian qualification. In the first four rounds, the Reds and Yellows have never kept their net empty and conceded 13 goals (3.25 per game). The Devils should make the most of this, as they need not only to gain three points but also create a good goal differential.
