Despite the strong opposition, Bahrain fought hard and scored a crucial goal near the end of the match, winning 1-0 and starting with a victory. In the second round, Bahrain returned home to face Japan. Despite their efforts, the difference in strength was too great, and Bahrain suffered a 0-5 defeat. In the third round, Bahrain played at home again, this time against Indonesia. Thanks to two goals from Mahon, Bahrain secured a 2-2 draw with Indonesia. In the fourth round, Bahrain traveled to face Saudi Arabia, where they played out a 0-0 draw. After four rounds, Bahrain accumulated 5 points from 1 win, 2 draws, and 1 loss, and is currently ranked 4th in Group C.

China is ranked 92nd in the world and 13th in Asia. In the first round of the 18-team qualifier, China faced Japan away and unfortunately suffered a poor performance, losing 0-7. In the second round, China hosted Saudi Arabia and took the lead in the first half, but despite having the advantage of one more player, they conceded two goals in the second half and lost 1-2. In the third round, China played away against Australia and took the lead in the first half, but was overtaken by the opponent, losing 1-3 after conceding three goals. In the fourth round, China hosted Indonesia and showed a strong desire to win. With goals from Bai Helamu and Zhang Yuning, China won 2-1, securing their first victory in the 18-team qualifier. Despite the win in the fourth round, China's overall performance has still been disappointing, and they currently have 1 win and 3 losses, accumulating 3 points and sitting at the bottom of Group C.

Odds Analysis
Based on recent performances, Bahrain's defensive ability has been impressive, as they managed to keep a clean sheet against Saudi Arabia. On the other hand, China's attack has been somewhat lackluster. Although they won their last match against Indonesia, their overall attacking efficiency still needs improvement. Therefore, the total number of goals in this match may not be very high, and the game itself might not be particularly exciting.

As the home team, Bahrain is in better form compared to China. In the qualifiers, Bahrain managed to draw against strong teams like Australia and Saudi Arabia, which proves their strength. While China did secure a victory against Indonesia, their overall form remains underwhelming. Additionally, China's away record has not been ideal, which makes it hard to have high expectations for their performance in this match. Taking all these factors into account, Bahrain is more likely to secure a victory in this match.

Pick: Bahrain-0.75
