The top-ranked team in the tournament, Lebanon will face Maldives in a Group B match on Wednesday, June 28 at the Shree Kanteerava Stadium in Bangalore. Lebanon is currently top of Group B with six points while Maldives are third with three points.
Lebanon is coming off a flawless display over Bhutan where they won 4-1 with goals from Mohamad Sadek, Ali Al Haj, Khalil Bader, and Mahdi Zein. The Lebanese have already qualified for the knockout stages and will look to solidify their top spot. After losing out on the Intercontinental Cup, they will want to get a title under their belt before the all-important AFC Asian Cup in January.
Maldives will be wanting to bounce back after they lost 3-1 against Bangladesh in their last game with Hamza Mohamed being their only scorer. A win here could propel them to the semi-finals as they will go up to the second place but will still have to compete with Bangladesh for the spot.
Head to Head:
Lebanon have dominated the Maldives so far as they have four wins out of the four matches played against them. These two teams faced each other last time in the 2008 Asian Cup qualifiers when Lebanon won 2-1.
